Preface 


Now  that  this  edition  of  the  new  Iowa  Wesleyan  Alumni 
Record  is  ready  for  the  press,  we  begin  to  fully  understand 
how  incomplete  and  inaccurate  the  individual  data  in  many  in- 
stances is.  We  are  frank  to  confess  that  when  we  first  start- 
ed on  the  work,  we  had  visions  of  making  the  book  accurate 
in  every  detail.  But  we  have  now  learned  that  we  set  for  our- 
selves an  impossible  task.  Some  of  the  alumni  of  the  early 
days,  we  fear,  are  lost  to  us  forever.  We  have  been  fortunate 
in  locating  a  few  of  the  people  who  were  marked  as  missing  in 
the  old  record  of  twelve  years  ago,  but  we  are  afraid  there 
will  be  more  new  names  bearing  that  legend  than  were  in  the 
old  book.  In  the  preface  of  the  first  edition  of  this  history  and 
record,  the  editor,  Mr.  Carl  S.  Williams,  '84,  makes  reference 
to  the  incomplete  data  concerning  F.  H.  Burris,  of  the  class  of 
1863.  Just  today,  as  we  were  rummaging  around  in  a  box  of 
old  papers  that  had  been  brought  down  from  the  attic  to  be 
thrown  into  the  furnace,  we  found  a  slip  of  paper  dated  in  1906 
which  gives  the  complete  history  of  Fernandez  Holiday  Burris. 
In  another  hour  this  record  would  have  been  lost  forever. 

The  task  of  the  original  editors  of  this  book  was  a  little 
less  than  Herculean.  After  many  weary  days  and  nights  spent 
in  an  effort  to  bring  this  book  up  to  date,  assisted  immeasur- 
ably as  we  were  by  the  original  volume,  which  "blazed  the 
trail",  we  come  to  an  adequate  realization  of  what  the  first 
task  must  have  been.  In  going  over  the  old  documents  and 
minutes,  relative  to  the  life  of  the  school,  we  have  found  the 
original  history  as  written  by  Ex-President  John  W.  Hancher, 
most  complete  and  accurate. 

We  have  attempted  on  two  previous  occasions  to  get  the 
book  ready  for  publication,  but  each  time  the  work  was  halted 
by  the  exigencies  of  the  endowment  campaign.  We  are  work- 
ing on  it  now  in  the  midst  of  several  other  pressing  duties. 
Perhaps  this  will  account  for  some  of  the  errors  and  inaccura-

cies.  We  wish  to  thank,  at  this  time,  all  those  who  have  as- 
sisted us  so  materially  in  this  work.  No  one,  however,  has 
made  a  greater  contribution  of  time  to  this  work  than  W.  H. 
Evans,  '98,  and  Ben  Hur  Wilson,  '09.  Without  their  aid,  the 
book  could  not  have  been  printed  at  this  time,  if  at  all. 

If  your  own  record  is  in  error  or  incomplete,  or  that  of  any 
of  your  friends,  or  those  whose  memory  you  honor,  write  the 
facts  and  send  them  to  the  Librarian  of  the  College.  Don't 
wait,  but  do  it  now.  It  will  be  preserved  and  filed  for  future 
use. 

It  is  the  intention  to  re-print  this  book  once  every  ten 
years.  In  the  meantime,  the  college  will  endeavor  to  keep  all 
data  up-to-date.  Young  ladies  have  a  most  discouraging 
way  of  changing  their  names  and  if  they  knew  how  difficult  a 
little  event  like  that  makes  it  to  discover  their  whereabouts, 
we  feel  certain  they  would  notify  the  college  immediately. 
The  younger  graduates  are  a  roving  lot.  They  are  teaching,  or 
preaching,  or  working  here  and  there,  and  it  is  hard  to  lay 
your  finger  on  them  without  their  co-operation. 

We  trust  that  this  book  will  serve  to  unite  you  more  strong- 
ly to  your  Alma  Mater.  With  the  future  of  Iowa  Wesleyan 
assured,  all  the  great  family  of  the  Alumni  will  feel  their  in- 
terest and  devotion  intensified.

Editor  of  Alumni  Record. 


Foreword 


The  following  is  not  a  complete  history.  It  does  not  pur- 
port to  be.  We  confess  to  that  purpose  in  the  beginning,  but 
the  incompleteness  of  data,  the  want  of  full  information,  and 
the  impossibility  of  procuring  these  in  the  time  allotted,  have 
swerved  us  from  our  purpose,  and  we  here  set  down  some 
things  of  accuracy  and  some  things  of  uncertainty.  These  will 
doubtless  meet  the  eyes  of  persons  who  know  their  uncertain- 
ties, and,  in  some  instances,  their  inaccuracies.  If  such  per- 
sons will  kindly  advise  us,  we  shall  feel  called,  after  hearing 
from  our  alumni,  patrons,  and  friends,  to  prepare  an  accurate 
history  that  shall  be,  in  some  measure  at  least,  a  complete  one. 

We  append  to  this  sketch  record  of  trustees,  officers,  ex- 
ecutive committees,  presidents,  faculties,  etc.,  from  the  begin- 
ning. We  believe  them  to  be  correct.  In  many  instances  we 
have  been  obliged  to  depend  upon  the  memory  of  our  older 
alumni  to  know  whether  they  had  degrees,  and  if  so,  what  their 
degrees  were,  so  that  the  scholastic  setting  may,  in  some 
instances,  be  erratic.  For  information  touching  any  error 
or  omission  we  shall  be  exceedingly  grateful,  and  will  pre- 
serve the  same  carefully,  in  the  interests  of  future  accuracy 
and  correctness. 


Historical  Sketch 

Perspective 

Virginia  was  the  "Mother  of  Presidents."  Ohio  supplanted 
her,  and  held  the  distinguished  honor,  to  her  great  credit  and 
the  profit  of  the  nation.  Many  people  believe  that  Iowa  is  to 
be  the  grand-daughter  of  Virginia  in  the  presidential  line.  Be 
that  as  it  may,  Iowa  is  building,  as  she  has  been  building  from 
the  beginning  of  territorial  history,  as  though  she  might  be 
called  upon  to  furnish  the  brain  and  brawn,  the  courage  and 
heroism,  the  foresight  and  leadership  of  the  American  republic. 
The  counsels  of  her  political  leaders  are  sought  at  the  na- 
tion's firesides.  The  influence  of  her  religious  leaders  are  felt 
everywhere,  and  everywhere  command  respect.  Iowa's  splen- 
did system  of  public  education  is  in  evidence  in  this  as  in  all 
other  walks  of  life.  The  value  of  her  many  colleges  asserts 
itself  in  the  service  her  sons  and  daughters  are  called  upon  to 
render  to  the  state,  the  nation,  and  the  world.  The  sequel  is: 
Iowa  began  right.  She  found  her  inspiration  in  the  hunger  of 
the  Pilgrim  Fathers  for  liberty  and  learning,  and  intensified 
it  by  the  reflex  action  from  a  colonial  sentiment,  which 
thanked  God  for  freedom  from  the  influence  of  school-houses 
and  printing  presses,  and  prayed  Him  to  delay  their  coming  at 
least  one  hundred  years. 

Methodism  was  early  in  Iowa.  That's  a  way  Methodism  has. 
Ooir  Methodist  forbears  began  upon  arrival  to  lay  plans  for 
liberal  education.  In  1841,  when  Mt.  Pleasant  was  but  a  ham- 
let of  a  few  humble  cottages,  such  men  as  I.  I.  Stewart,  Peter 
Smith,  E.  Killpatrick,  J.  C.  Hall,  P.  C.  Tiffany,  Samuel  Nelson, 
Nelson  Lathrop,  John  P.  Grantham,  and  a  score  of  others, 
"whose  names  are  as  ointment  poured  forth,"  in  the  memory  of 
those  days,  were  suggesting,  couselling,  planning,  hoping,  dar- 
ing, and.  in  1842  meeting  with  the  people  en  masse  to  discuss 
the  relation  of  the  hopes  and  future  prosperity  of  the  young 
territory  to  higher  education.    Of  this  labor  of  brain  and  heart,

Iowa  Wesleyan  was  brought  forth,  first  of  all  the  educational 
institutions  of  her  grade  in  Iowa,  and  first  of  all  such  institu- 
tions to  the  country  on  the  west  of  the  Mississippi.  The  be- 
binnings  were  small.  To  those  who  are  familiar  only  with 
the  movements  of  modern  colleges  and  universities,  they 
seem  insignificant,  but  they  meant  much  to  those  noble  and 
courageous  men  who  planned  so  wisely,  and  they  mean  in- 
finitely more  to  Iowa's  posterity  because  they  meant  so  much 
to  the  men  of  whose  love  and  sacrifice  Iowa  Wesleyan  was 
begotten. 

Iowa  has  today  seventeen  colleges  which  are  entitled  to 
membership  in  the  College  Section  of  the  State  Educational 
Association,  and  which  under  that  membership  are  called 
"Standard."  Iowa  Wesleyan  is  one  of  these,  and  enjoys  a 
worthy  place  among  her  sisters.  Her  alumni  are  admitted  to 
the  professional  schools  of  our  great  universities  upon  the 
records  made  at  Wesleyan.  Of  the  seventeen  standard  col- 
leges, five  are  Methodist,  and  Iowa  Wesleyan  sustains  mater- 
nal relation  to  all  the  five.  "The  average  annual  attendance 
in  these  five  schools  for  the  past  four  years  has  been  561.  The 
average  annual  attendance  in  all  the  other  standard  colleges, 
including  the  State  University,  with  its  professional  schools, 
and  the  Agricultural  College,  both  backed  by  the  generous 
treasury  of  goodly  Iowa,  has  been  but  little  more.  If  the  aver- 
age be  confined  to  the  other  denominational  colleges  only,  it 
is  far  less." 

What  magnificent  promise  this  vigorous  young  state  gives 
to  her  future,  and  the  future  of  the  nation,  through  these  mul- 
tiplied thousands  of  earnest  young  people,  building  into  their 
lives  the  best  thought,  the  best  discovery,  the  best  sentiment, 
the  best  hope,  and  the  best  vision  of  the  present  and  the  past. 

Already  Iowa  Wesleyan's  sons  and  daughters  have  belted 
the  world.  They  occupy  positions  of  more  or  less  important 
leadership  in  every  walk  of  life.  In  the  ministry,  in  pedagog- 
ics, ,-n  journalism,  in  law,  in  Christian  missions,  in  commerce, 
in  manufactures,  in  agriculture,  in  mechanics,  in  all  the  ram- 
ifications of  modern  pastorial,  professional,  industrial  and  com- 
mercial life,  Wesleyan's  alumni  are  to  be  found  in  honored 
places. 


10  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

It  has  been  seventy-five  years  since  Heustis  came  out  to 
this  then  far  western  country  to  lay  the  foundations  for  a 
school  of  higher  learning.  The  beginnings  were  small,  the 
gifts  were  meager.  But  those  early  pioneers  gave  of  their  sub- 
stance, such  as  it  was,  gladly.  From  Heustis  to  Schell,  there 
are  seventy-five  years  of  glorous  history.  To  give  a  list  of  all 
the  self-sacrificing  men  and  women  who  have  stood  by  the  in- 
stitution in  all  periods  of  stress  and  storm,  would  be  impossi- 
ble, within  the  bounds  of  this  book.  We  could  never  give  full 
credit.  We  wish  that  one  and  all  of  you  might  have  enjoyed 
the  rare  privilege  of  looking  through  the  old  records  and  min- 
utes with  us.  The  bare  facts  tell  a  more  glowing  tale  of  de- 
votion than  any  work  of  fiction.  Barely  had  the  school  been 
organized,  when  a  group  of  lads  marched  away  to  the  Mexican 
war.  What  a  space  of  time  that  covers.  It  brings  to  our 
mind,  memories  of  Pala  Alta,  Reseca  De  La  Palma  and  the 
heights  of  Chapultepec.  Even  now  as  we  write  these  words, 
the  boys  are  drilling  again  under  the  campus  elms,  prepar- 
ing themselves  for  the  great  struggle  with  Germany.  What 
the  future  may  hold  for  them,  only  God,  in  His  wisdom, 
knows,  but  if  it  is  necessary  for  the  "sons  of  Wesleyan"  to 
get  into  the  front  ranks  and  give  up  their  lives,  whether  in 
America,  or  in  far  off  Flanders,  we  know  they  will  respond 
with  that  same  high  purpose  that  animated  our  b'oys  of  '46, 
'61  and  '98. 

As  we  read  over  these  old  records,  we  discover  many 
things  that,  in  this  later  day,  of  our  greater  prosperity,  doubt- 
less seem  a  bit  amusing.  In  one  place  we  find  where  the 
Executive  Committee  gave  permission  to  the  President  to  cut 
enough  hay  off  the  campus  to  pay  the  arrears  in  his  salary. 

It  is  to  celebrate  the  75th  anniversary  of  the  founding  of 
Iowa  Wesleyan,  of  which  there  is  no  other  event  of  greater 
historical  significance  in  the  whole  history  of  our1  state,  that 
we  have  taken  up  the  work  of  publishing  this  record.  Inaccu- 
rate and  incomplete  as  it  may  be,  if  it  but  helps  you  to  live 
over  some  of  the  sweet  memories  of  your  long-forgotten  col- 
lege days,  we  will  be  satisfied.

Organization 

Just  when  this  institution  of  learning  was  organized  this 
chronicle  does  not  purport  to  tell,  nor  does  this  chronicler 
assume  to  know.  The  original  Articles  of  Association,  where- 
by sundry  persons  associated  themselves  together  and  ef- 
fected an  organization  for  Christian  education,  are  extant,  but, 
alas,  they  are  without  date.  The  earliest  document  of  date  is 
March  8,  1843.  It  presumes,  allowing  for  the  slow  postal  ser- 
vice, a  first  organization  in  1842.  Some  think  the  prelimi- 
nary step  took  place  in  1841.  The  next  document  is  of  record 
in  the  Henry  County  archives,  and  bears  date  March  11,  1843. 
We  give  the  document,  together  with  the  names  of  the  as- 
sociators,  herewith  verbatim: 

'»Be  it  known  that  we,  the  undersigned,  agree  and  hereby 
enter  into  articles  of  association  for  the  purpose  of  erecting  a 
Collegiate  Institute  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  Henry  County,  Iowa  Ter- 
ritory. 

"That  we  hereby  subscribe  to  the  following  articles  to  gov- 
ern said  association: 

"Article  First. 
"The  association   shall  be  known  and   denominated   'The 
Mount  Pleasant  Collegiate  Institute.' 

"Article   Second. 

"Any  person  may  become  a  member  of  said  association  by 
subscribing  for  the  use  of  said  association  the  sum  of  five 
dollars,  or  more,  which  sum  may  be  subscribed  in  money,  la- 
bour, property,  or  building  materials. 

"Article  Third. 
"All  sums  of  money,  property,  or  labour  subscribed,  shall 
be  faithfully  applied  to  the  erection  and  completion  of  a  suit- 
able building  designed  and  to  be  dedicated  for  a  'Collegiate 
Institute.' 

"Article    Fourth. 
''That  J.   C.   Hall,   P.   C.   Tiffany,   Samuel   Nelson,   Nelson 
Lathrop,  and  Peter  Smith  are  hereby  appointed  and  constitu-

ted  Trustees  of  this  association,  and  all  sums  subscribed,  all 
donations  of  whatever  description  or  kind  intended  or  design- 
ed for  the  purpose  of  erecting  said  building,  are  hereby  trans- 
ferred and  vested  in  said  Trustees,  to  have  and  to  hold  the 
same  in  trust  for  the  purpose  of,  erecting  said  Institute,  and 
that  said  Trustees  are  hereby  empowered  and  fully  authorized 
to  enter  into  contract  with  such  persons  as  they  may  think 
proper,  and  do  all  acts  necessary  for  the  erecting  said  build- 
ing, and  that  said  Trustees  have  full  power  for  the  purposes 
aforesaid  to  transfer  any  and  all  property  subscribed  to  aid 
in  erecting  said  building,  assign  any  chose  in  action,  and 
transfer  any  subscription  that  may  be  subscribed  for  the 
benefit  or  use  of  this  association,  and  do  all  and  every  act 
that  may  be  necessary  for  the  purposes  of  carrying  out  the 
intent  and  object  of  this  association.  Provided,  that  nothing 
herein  shall  be  so  construed  as  to  empower  said  Trustees  to 
create  any  liabilities  that  are  not  by  the  contract  to  be  liqui- 
dated by  the  subscription  or  property  donated  by  or  for  the 
use  of  the  association. 

"Article  Fifth. 
"That   said   Trustee   shall   hold   their   power   and   appoint- 
ment until  the  first  of  January,  1844,  and  until  their  appoint- 
ments are  revoked  by  the  appointment  of  successors. 

"Article  Sixth. 
"This  institution  shall  be  placed  under  the  patronage  and 
control  of  the  Annual  Conference  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church  in  the  bounds  of  which  it  is  located,  said  Conference, 
or  the  President  thereof,  having  the  power  to  appoint  the 
professors,  and  a  board  of  visitors.

The  trustees  elected  by  the  foregoing  action  entered  into 
a  contract  on  the  8th  day  of  March,  1843,  whereby  the  first 
president  and  field  agent  began  service,  looking  to  the  ac- 
quirement of  property,  the  erection  of  suitable  buildings,  and 
other  things  necessary  to  carrying  out  the  plans  of  the 
trustees.  That  first  president  was  Rev.  Artistides  J.  Heustis, 
A.B.,  A.  M.  He  was  an  alumnus  of  Wilbraham  Academy. 
He  came  to  Mt.  Pleasant  after  considerable  correspondence 
and  negotiation  with  the  representatives  and  trustees  of  the 
association,  for  the  specific  purpose  of  establishing  an  institu- 
tion for  higher  education,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church. 

Seme  persons  think  that  these  negotiations  had  gone  on 
since  1841;  others  that  they  were  begun  in  1842.  Certain  it 
is  ,with  the  slow  transit  of  mails  in  those  times,  and  the 
apparent  necessity  of  passing  a  number  of  letters  to  and  fro 
before  Mr.  Huestis  would  have  made  the  far  journey  to  Iowa 
Territory,  that,  since  the  contract  was  negotiated  and  signed 
by  him  and  the  trustees  as  early  as  the  8th  day  of  March, 
1843,  the  organization  must  have  had  form  and  shape  some 
time  in  1842,  if  not  in  1841. 

It  remains  of  necessity  uncertain,  but  we  are  confident  that 
we  shall  yet  find  the  information  that  will  fix  the  year,  if  not 
the  month  and  the  day,  when  the  original  organization  first 
took  form  and  shape. 

The  young  school  was  named  Mt.  Pleasant  Collegiate  Insti- 
tute, and  was  chartered  by  an  act  of  the  legislature  of  the 
Territory  of  Iowa,  which  act  was  approved  by  the  territorial 
governor,  Lucas,  March  15,  1844.  While  the  articles  of  as- 
sociation provided  for  its  patronage  and  supervision  under 
the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  it  does  not  appear  that  the 
Rock  River  Conference,  of  which  southeastern  Iowa  was  then 


14  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

a  part,  ever  mothered  Mt.  Pleasant  Collegiate  Institute.  The 
Iowa  Conference  was  organized  at  Iowa  City  on  the  14th  day 
of  August,  1844,  and  the  trustees  of  the  Institute  sought  to 
have  the  new  Conference  accept,  govern,  control,  and  direct 
their  material  and  educational  interests.  At  the  session  of 
the  Conference  in  August,  1849,  I.  I.  Stewart,  Alcinous  Young, 
Joseph  McDowell,  Erastus  Lathrop,  and  D.  N.  Smith  were  ap- 
pointed a  committee  to  negotiate  with  the  trustees  to  the  end 
named.  On  the  11th  day  of  September,  1849,  this  committee, 
for  and  on  behalf  of  the  Conference,  accepted  the  Mt.  Pleas- 
ant Collegiate  Institute,  under  the  following  form  of  agree- 
ment: "That  the  Mt.  Pleasant  Collegiate  Institute  shall  be 
recognized  as  our  Conference  University,  and  that  we,  as  a 
Conference  will  give  the  above-named  Institute  our  perpetual 
patronage,  etc." 

This  action  was  confirmed  and  ratified  at  the  next  regular 
session  of  the  Iowa  Conference,  held  at  Fairfield,  August  7, 
1850.  It  has  since  been  under  the  patronage  of  the  Iowa  Con- 
ference. On  the  third  day  of  October,  1854,  action  was  taken 
by  the  trustees  of  the  Iowa  Conference  University  which 
action  seems  to  have  been  with  the  understanding  and  ap- 
proval of  the  Iowa  Conference,  whereby  it  was  authorized 
that  the  name  be  changed  from  Mt.  Pleasant  Collegiate  Insti- 
tute to  Iowa  Wesleyan  University.  Under  this  new  name  a 
new  charter  was  sought  from,  the  legislature  of  the  state 
of  Iowa  by  the  supporters,  patrons,  and  friends  of  the  pro- 
posed university. 

This  new  charter  changes  the  name,  as  sought  in  the 
petition,  and  names  Palmer  C.  Tiffany,  John  P.  Grantham, 
Nelson  Lathrop,  Jonathan  P.  Hall,  Ephriam  Kilpatrick,  and 
their  associates,  as  trustees.  The  charter  was  approved  bj' 
the  Governor  on  the  25th  day  of  January.  1855. 

A  revised  charter  of  the  institution  was  sought  through 
E.  L.  Briggs,  Anthony  Robinson,  Henry  Ambler,  and  Thomas 
E.  Corkhill,  under  date  of  September  30,  1865,  and  the  same 
was  filed  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary  of  State  on  the  4th 
day  of  October,  1869.  Under  this  revised  charter,  Charles  El- 
liott, J.   R.   Needham,  J.   H.   Power,  Wellington  Bird,   E.   H.

Waring,  David  Worthington,  Henry  Ambler,  W.  F.  Cowles, 
George  Sweney,  Charles  Snyder,  E.  L.  Briggs,  J.  R.  Copelin, 
Thomas  Audas,  William  Wilson,  Jr.,  Anthony  Robinson,  J.  B. 
Vernon,  M.  H.  Hare,  James  Harlan,  Charles  Lawrence  and 
Thomas  E.  Corkhill,  were  named  as  trustees.  The  last 
amendment  to  the  charter  of  the  Iowa  Wesleyan  University 
was  adopted  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  June  15,  1874,  and 
filed  for  record  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary  of  State  Septem- 
ber 22,  1874. 

In  this  revised  charter,  G.  N.  Power,  I.  P.  Teter,  John 
Wheeler,  Wellington  Bird,  J.  I.  Gilbert,  I.  A.  Bradrick,  W.  F.

John  Conaway,  James  Harlan,  E.  H.  Waring,  T.  E.  Corkhill,  C. 
L.  Collins,  and  E.  L.  Penn  were  appointed  trustees. 

it  thus  appears  that  the  Educational  Institution,  now  ex- 
tant under  the  name  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  College  has  been  in 
continuous  existence,  under  a  single  organization,  but  with 
its  original  name  of  Mt.  Pleasant  Collegiate  Institution, 
changed  successively  to  Iowa  Conference  University  in  1850; 
Iowa  Wesleyan  University  in  1854  and  Iowa  Wesleyan  Col- 
lege in  1911.  For  a  number  of  years,  the  trustees  had  real- 
ized that  this  school  was  no  longer  doing  work  of  a 
strictly  university  character,  and  had  no  intention  of  so 
doing  in  the  future.  So,  at  the  annual  June  meeting  of  1911, 
the  name  of  the  school  was  formally  changed  to  Iowa  Wes- 
leyan College.  This  was  ratified  by  the  Iowa  Conference  at 
Fairfield  in  September  of  that  year.  It  did  not,  however, 
become  the  legal  name  until  July  1,  1912. 

The  Trustees  are  elected  by  the  Iowa  Annual  Conference, 
the  Board  and  the  Alumni.  They  are  chosen  for  a  term  of 
four  years.  The  Board  consists  of  twenty-eight  members,  the 
President  of  the  college  and  the  presiding  bishop  of  the  Iowa 
Conference  who  are  members  ex-officio.  Eight  members  are 
elected  each,  by  the  Alumni  and  the  Board,  while  the  Iowa 
Conference  chooses  twelve.  The  term  of  office  of  seven 
members  of  the  Board  expires  annually. 


16  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

The  Iowa  Conference  also  elects  a  Board  of  visitors  of 
three  members,  whose  term  of  office  continues  three  years. 
They  co-operate  with  the  Board  of  Trustees,  as  Advisory 
Council,  and  have  the  right  to  vote  on  all  elections  of  the 
faculty.  These  visitors  make  annual  reports  to  the  Iowa 
Conference,  as  to  the  progress,  condition,  needs  and  achieve- 
ments of  the  college. 

Material  Growth 

Like  all  institutions  of  its  kind,  Iowa  Wesleyan  began  with- 
out property.  At  a  meeting  of  the  board  of  trustees  of  the 
Mt.  Pleasant  Collegiate  Institute,  held  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa, 
March  11,  1843,  ''for  the  purpose  of  receiving  propositions  and 
pledges  of  donations  of  land  for  a  site  for  the  building  of  the 
Mt.  Pleasant  Collegiate  Institute,"  the  following  donations  of 
land  were  pedged:  First,  John  Jones,  "four  acres  from  the 
south  end  of  his  land  in  such  form  as  to  connect  the  national 
road  and  Main  street;"  second,  J.  C.  Hall,  "six  acres  from  the 
north  end  of  his  land  connecting  also  the  national  road  and 
Main  street;  and  in  this  gift  he  liquidates  his  subscription;" 
third,  Samuel  Brazelton,  "five  acres  on  the  east  side  of  Main 
street  and  directly  east  of  the  ten  acres  donated  by  Messrs. 
Jones  and  Hall,  and  of  the  same  width  on  Main  street;"  fourth, 
Peter  Smith,  "(in  lieu  of  his  subscription)  five  acres  west  of 
the  national  road  and  directly  west  of  the  ten  acres  donated  by 
Messrs.  Jones  and  Hall,  and  of  the  same  width  on  the  national 
road.  And  in  all  these  proposals  it  is  contemplated  that  a 
street  forty  feet  in  width  on  the  north  and  south  lines  be  in- 
cluded in  the  donations." 

"The  above  donations  are  given  with  the  express  under- 
standing that  the  land  is  to  be  occupied  and  held  for  a  build- 
ing site  for  the  institution,  and  that  the  grant  shall  be  ineffec- 
tive and  void,  provided  same  should  not  be  for  the  purpose 
^foresaid,  and  the  trustees  within  three  years  from  this  date 
erect  a  suitable  building  on  some  part  of  said  donation,  which 
shall  be  used  and  forever  appropriated  as  an  institution  of 
learning." 

From  the  above  description  it  is  evident  that  John  Jones 
and  J.  C.  Hall  were  the  donors  of  the  central  square  of  land 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  17 

known  as  the  main  campus;  that  Samuel  Brazelton  was  the 
donor  of  the  east  campus,  now  occupied  by  the  Conservatory 
of  Music;  and  that  Peter  Smith  was  the  donor  of  the  west 
campus  now  occupied  by  Elizabeth  Hershey  Hall,  and  as  an 
athletic  field.  These  gifts  were  pledged  by  the  gentlemen 
named  upon  condition  that  a  suitable  building  for  educational 
purposes  be  erected,  and  when  the  same  had  been  done,  they 
executed  warranty  deeds  to  the  land  in  good  faith  as  pledged, 
and  the  said  lands  have  ever  since  been  the  property  of  this 
institution. 

With  this  contract  executed,  three  days  after  the  contract 
whereunder  he  entered  upon  the  duties  of  president  of  the  Mt. 
Pleasant  Collegiate  Institute,  President  Huestis  as  chief  exec- 
utive began  the  work  for  which  he  had  crossed  the  Mississippi. 
He  had  come  from  the  far  east  to  found  a  Methodist  institu- 
tion of  learning.  His  task  was  begun,  and  already  his  hopes 
were  seeing  fruition.  The  association  of  which  he  was  presi- 
dent was  in  the  possession  of  twenty  acres  of  raw  prairie  land, 
pledged  in  good  faith. 

Harvard  had  a  few  books  given  to  found  a  university; 
Huestis  had  twenty  acres  of  ground  pledged  to  found  a  Meth- 
odist institution  of  learning  of  high  grade,  which  within  a  few 
short  years  thereafter  was  also  juggling  with  the  word  Uni- 
versity. Learned,  courageous,  purposeful,  faithful,  this  found- 
er of  Iowa  Wesleyan  went  heroically  to  his  task.  He  served 
a  half  dozen  years.  Faithfully  he  served  and  well.  Like  col- 
lege presidents  closing  the  last  half  of  the  century  of  which 
he  was  closing  the  first  half,  he  was  of  necessity  a  man  of 
affairs.  He  gave  his  entire  time  to  business  administration  and 
to  work  in  the  field,  securing  funds  and  creating  property.  He 
traveled  extensively  in  the  new  territory  and  in  the  then  far 
eas:,  gathering  from  his  friends  such  gifts,  small  or  very  small 
(there  seem  to  have  been  no  large  ones)  as  they  were  willing 
to  contribute.  He  is  in  repute  a  scholar,  thinker  and  pulpit 
orator  of  more  than  average  ability. 

In  the  early  months  of  his  administration  Iowa's  pioneer 
college  building  was  begun.  It  was  enclosed  and  occupied  in 
1844,  and  is  still  in  commission,  having  done  duty  first  as  a 


18  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

school  building  and  president's  residence;  later  as  a  recitation 
building,  and  for  many  years  as  a  Conservatory  of  Music,  but 
in  more  recent  years  has  been  occupied  by  our  Commercial 
School.  It  has  been  in  service  for  seventy-three  years,  and 
though  plain  and  unpretentious,  it  is  still  a  substantial,  reli- 
able structure.  It  was  built  of  brick  two  stories  high  with 
ground  dimensions  of  28x54  feet,  and  then  contained  9  rooms. 
Seven  decades  ago  it  was  adequate  to  the  needs  of  the  insti- 
tution as  a  school  building  and  president's  residence.  Mrs. 
I.  I.  Stewart,  whose  husband  was  presiding  elder  of  a  large 
district  in  the  late  40's  and  early  50's,  and  had  headquarters 
at  Mt.  Pleasant,  states  that  for  a  time  the  school  was  conduct- 
ed in  the  building  on  the  first  floor,  and  both  the  president 
and  presiding  elder  had  residences  on  the  second  floor. 

The  record  books  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  from  the  beginning  un- 
til now  are  extant  and  in  reasonably  good  condition.  How- 
ever, the  difficulty  of  determining  such  questions  as  the  dates 
of  the  first  meeting  and  the  business  transacted  by  the  first 
board  of  trustees  at  their  earlier  sittings  will  be  apparent  to 
every  reader  when  we  state  that  the  first  sixteen  pages  of  the 
first  record  book  are  gone.  The  book  is  naturally  breaking 
and  losing  its  firmness,  being  now  more  than  seventy  years 
old,  and  these  leaves  have  been  lost.  The  records  from  1845 
to  the  present  are  fairly  accurate  and  more  or  less  complete. 
Whatever  records  were  made  have  been  preserved  and  are 
extant  today. 

In  1845  Professor  Johnson  Pierson,  A.  B.,  A.  M.,  alumnus  of 
McKendrie  College,  was  elected  to  the  faculty  of  the  Mt.  Pleas- 
ant Collegiate  Institute,  and  remained  in  its  service  until  1849. 
He  was  assisted  in  the  school  work  by  his  wife  a  part  if  not 
all  of  the  time.  They  who  were  under  his  tutorship  say  that 
Professor  Pierson  was  an  excellent  teacher,  and  his  influence 
still  lives  in  the  lives  of  his  students.

20  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

In  1849  President  Huestis  and  Professor  Pierson  severed 
their  connection  with  the  Mt.  Pleasant  Collegiate  Institute, 
and  Rev.  Joseph  McDowell  became  president  on  the  11th  day 
of  April  of  that  year.  Professor  Lewis  Dwight,  A.  B.,  A.  M., 
took  the  place  of  Professor  Pierson  in  the  faculty,  and  he  and 
President  McDowell  remained  from  the  spring  of  1849  until  the 
fall  of  1850.  President  McDowell  was  not  a  college  trained 
man,  but  he  was  a  man  of  courage,  faith  and  evangelistic 
spirit.  It  is  written  of  him  that  during  a  pastorate  at  Troy 
Circuit,  Iowa,  his  ministry  was  rewarded  with  the  conversion 
of  1,300  people  in  a  single  year.  Like  President  Huestis  he 
devoted  his  time  to  the  material  interests  of}  the  school,  act- 
ing as  both  president  and  field  agent.  His  was  an  evangelis- 
tic administration.  He  lived,  loyal  and  faithful  to  the  minis- 
try of  the  church,  until  1885,  when  he  answered  the  final  sum- 
mons, triumphant  in  Christian  faith  and  battle-scarred  in 
Christian  service. 

Joseph  McDowell  having  severed  his  connection,  and  Lewis 
Dwight  having  severed  his  connection  in  the  fall  of  1850,  Rev. 
Alexander  Nelson,  A.  B.,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  became  president. 
President  Nelson  was  college  trained  and  the  trustees  hoped 
in  him  to  have  a  permanent  president  who  would  build  and 
grow  with  the  institution.  He  seems  to  have  continued  but 
a  single  year,  when  he  returned  to  Ohio,  where  he  served  his 
church  and  his  generation  long  and  well,  being  respectively 
president  of  Baldwin  University,  and  a  pastor  of  important 
stations  in  the  M.  E.  church.  He  passed  on  to  the  other  side 
but  a  few  years  since,  full  of  years,  rich  in  experience,  and 
ripe  for  the  triumphs  of  Heaven.  Mrs.  Nelson  was  associated 
with  him  as  a  teacher  during  his  administration. 

During  this  time  and  for  some  months  prior  to  President 
Nelson's  coming,  Rev.  R.  H.  Harrison  had  been  field  agent  of 
the  institution,  and  continued  so  after  President  Nelson's  res- 
ignation had  been  accepted.  At  this  time  serious  financial 
embarrassments  arose,  creating  no  little  discusssion  and,  if  we 
now  judge  aright  from  the  records,  some  turmoil.  Aggressive 
work  in  the  field  seems  to  have  been  suspended  pending  the 
adjustment  of  the  troubles  and  the  settlment  of  financial  con- 
ditions and  restoring  of  confidence. 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  21 

In  the  next  two  years,  Rev.  Elias  Williamson  Gray,  A.  B., 
A.  M.,  and  Rev.  James  Marshall  McDonald,  A.  B.,  A.  M.,  were 
presidents.  The  records  are  not  sufficiently  clear  to  enable 
us  to  determine  just  what  length  of  time  each  served. 

President  Gray  seems  to  have  been  the  successor  to  Presi- 
dent Nelson,  and  after  a  half  year  of  service  as  president  he 
seems  to  have  been  succeeded  by  President  McDonald,  while 
President  Gray  became  teacher,  and  in  1854  Professor  of  An- 
cient Languages  and  Literature,  which  chair  he  occupied  until 
1860.  President  Gray  was  an  A.  B.  alumnus  of  Augusta  Col- 
lege, from  which  he  afterward  took  the  degree  of  A.  M.  We 
judge  from  his  army  record  that  he  may  have  been  an  M.  D., 
although  we  know  of  no  record  of  it.  He  responded  to  his 
country's  call  in  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  in  1862  and  was 
mustered  out  at  Vicksburg,  April  15,  1866.  During  the  last  two 
years  of  service  he  held  the  position  of  assistant  surgeon  in 
the  58th  Mississippi  Colored  Regiment.  He  was  born  at  Mid- 
dletown,  Ohio,  February  20,  1821,  and  lived  until  January  31, 
1896.  In  his  later  years  he  made  permanent  some  of  the  re- 
sults of  his  careful,  thoughtful  life,  in  a  book  entitled  "The 
New  Religion." 

President  McDonald  was  an  alumnus  of  Indiana  Asbury 
University.  He  was  a  brother  of  Rev.  Dr.  J.  W.  McDonald, 
long  of  this  Conference  and  of  Rev.  A.  C. McDonald,  one  time 
of  'his  conference.  The  latter  was  the  father  of  Professor 
Lillian  McDonald,  formerly  a  member  of  the  faculty,  and  for 
many  years  a  devoted  servant  of  the  church  under  the  aus- 
pices of  the  Freedman's  Aid  Society  in  the  South. 


us- 


President  McDonald  served  but  six  months,  when  he  re- 
signed in  the  spring  of  1853  to  take  up  the  regular  work  of 
the  pastorate.  But  it  was  not  to  be  for  long.  Born  in  Ohio  on 
Christmas  day,  1823,  graduated  from  Indiana  Asbury  Univers- 
ity in  1851,  president  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  in  1852,  entering  the 
pastorate  well  equipped  and  with  high  hopes  in  the  spring  of 
1853,  he  looked  out  upon  the  future  with  resolute  purpose. 
But  disease  was  already  upon  him,  and  in  a  few  months  death 
claimed  him.    He  passed  to  his  eternal  reward  Sept.  12,  1853. 


22  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

His  successor  was  James  Harlan,  A.  M.,  LL.  D.  To 
name  him  is  to  tell  all;  and  yet  to  occupy  many  times  the  en- 
cire  space  allotted  to  this  sketch  in  his  behalf  were  not  to  tell 
all.  Sixteen  years  ago  this  writer  was  asked  by  the  authori- 
ties of  the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  to  name  the  two 
most  prominent  men  in  Iowa  public  life  in  the  early  days  of  the 
state's  history.  He  in  turn  wrote  twenty-five  men,  prominent 
in  Iowa  affairs,  both  state  and  church,  asking  the  same  ques- 
tion. Nearly  all  of  them  answered,  and  every  answer  named 
James  Harlan  as  one.  All  but  three  placed  him  first.  He 
was  a  valued  counselor  in  the  affairs  of  the  nation.  In  1855 
he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  United  States  senate,  in 
which  position  he  rendered  continuous  service  to  his  country 
until  1865,  when  he  resigned  to  accept  the  portfolio  of  the 
Interior  in  President  Lincoln's  cabinet.  He  continued  after 
the  assassination  of  President  Lincoln  a  short  time  in  the  cab- 
inet of  President  Johnson.  In  1867  he  was  again  elected  to 
the  senate  and  served  a  full  term.  President  Harlan  seems  to 
have  entered  upon  his  duties  at  Wesleyan  out  of  love,  and  to 
have  continued  them  always  in  sacrifice.  No  duties  of  state 
or  nation  were  ever  so  exacting  that  he  could  not  give  some 
time  to  Wesleyan's  interests. 

During  his  administration  the  plain  old  brick  building  in 
the  center  of  the  main  campus  was  constructed.  It  is  45x100 
feet,  three  stories  high,  and  is  held  in  memory  by  every 
degree  graduate  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  from  the  beginning  until 
now.  The  records  show  that  the  structure  cost  $20,000.  It 
could  not  be  built  today  for  twice  that  money.  Alexander  Lee. 
a  layman  whose  name  has  been  closely  identified  with  history- 
making  in  southeastern  Iowa  for  more  than  half  a  century, 
was  the  contractor.  Mr.  Lee  has  been  dead  for  some  years, 
but  his  sons  and  daughters,  active,  busy  and  worthy  in  life, 
as  was  he,  still  keep  his  memory  green. 

During  the  process  of  construction  of  this  main  hall  in  1854, 
and  when  the  walls  were  up,  a  heavy  storm  wrecked  the  build- 
ing. A  part  of  one  story  was  blown  off,  and  much  financial 
damage  resulted.  Mr.  Lee  made  no  complaint  but  addressed 
himself  with  diligence  to  repairing  the  damage,  and  completed 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  23 

the  structure  under  his  contract  without  asking  reimburse- 
ment for  the  loss.  A  recent  test  of  these  walls  shows  them  to 
be  durable,  reliable  and  promising  for  100  years  to  come. 

President  Harlan,  as  has  long  been  the  custom  of  college 
presidents,  was  professor  of  Mental  and  Moral  Science.  When 
in  the  faculty,  but  not  president,  his  chair  was  International 
Law.  Succeeding  President  McDonald,  he  served  from  some 
time  in  1853 — probably  the  spring  or  summer — until  June  22, 
1855,  when  he  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Lucien  W.  Berry,  D.D., 
whose  election  occurred  May  3,  1855,  and  who  entered  upon 
his  duties  immediately  after  the  close  of  President  Harlan's 
first  term  at  the  end  of  June  of  that  same  year. 

Dr.  Berry  was  a  native  of  Vermont,  born  at  Alburg  in 
1815,  and  educated  at  Miami  University,  Oxford,  Ohio,  but 
did  not  complete  his  course.  Prior  to  coming  to  Iowa  Wesley- 
an  he  had  been  successor  to  Matthew  Simpson  as  president  of 
Indiana  Asbury  University  at  Greencastle,  and  his  coming 
was  hailed  with  high  anticipations  by  those  who  loved  and 
sacrificed  for  the  young  university.  He  began  to  lay  the 
foundations  for  large  and  growing  work. 

Associated  with  the  beginnings  of  President  Harlan,  were 
George  C.  Whitlock,  A.B.,  A.  M.,  Professor  of  Natural  Philos- 
ophy and  Chemistry,  who  remained  from  1854  to  1864;  Mrs. 
M.  J,  Kelly,  A.  M.,  who  remained  from  1855  to  1861;  James 
Haynes,  Miss  Debby  Clark,  Miss  Mary  Weir,  Lewis  Bechtold, 
Miss  C.  Gibson,  Miss  P.  J.  Jenkins,  Berchem  Lucrode,  M.S., 
Rev.  Wesley  J.  Spaulding,  A.  M.,  Ph.  D.,  Rev|  Thomas  Audas, 
A.M.,  Walter  S.  Forrtesque,  M.S.,  Miss  Maria  C.  Gray,  Wray 
Beatty,  M.S.,  Ph.D.,  Rev.  Chas.  Elliott,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  Chas.  G. 
Downey,  A.M.,  D.  N.  Heffner,  B.S.,  Miss  Maria  Meatty,  and 
others. 

From  the  goodly  number  taken  into  the  faculty  in  these 
brief  years,  all  of  whom  seem  to  have  continued  in  service 
until  1855  or  later,  it  is  evident  that  the  work  of  college- 
building  was  begun  in  earnest.  Sincere  plans  to  develop  the 
university  were  in  the  minds  of  these  early  educators  and  of

class  was  done  later,  but  Iowa  W'esleyan  is  a  college,  and  it 
has  not  been  in  the  thought  of  its  promoters  in  the  later  years 
to  undertake  anything  higher  than  collegiate  work.  Condi- 
tions have  changed;  colleges  have  multiplied;  universities 
with  large  endowments  or  state  treasuries  behind  them  have 
grown  up,  and  the  small  college  which  confines  itself  to  its 
legitimate  sphere  instead  of  undertaking  university  work  gives 
evidence  of  justifiable  wisdom. 

Iowa  Wesleyan  put  out  her  first  degree  graduate  in  1856  in 
the  person  of  Winfield  Scott  Mayne,  B.  S.  Living  still,  rich 
in  experiences  and  fellowships,  he  is  practicing  law  at  Council 
Bluffs,  Iowa.  Around  him  as  a  nucleus  have  gathered  more 
than  1,000  other  alumni  in  this  three-quarters  of  a  century  of 
history-making.  Most  of  them  are  living  and  nearly  all  are  liv- 
ing well.  Some  twenty  per  cent  of  them  have  answered  the 
call  of  destiny  and  now  are  numbered  among  the  immortals. 

We  are  admonished  that  our  space  forbids  further  naming 
all  individual  members  of  the  faculty,  noting  their  chairs,  and 
mentioning  their  work  We  have  therefore  made  a  schedule 
of  the  "Faculty  from  the  beginning,"  which  will  be  found  ap- 
pended to  this  sketch. 

Dr.  Berry's  administration  was  all  too  brief.  His  was  a 
great,  soul.  His  was  an  able  ministry.  He  was  under  far- 
reaching  favorable  mention  for  the  episcopacy  because  of  his 
pulpit  power,  his  literary  acumen,  and  his  administrative 
skill.  After  a  little  more  than  two  years'  service  at  Iowa 
Wesleyan  he  retired  from  the  presidency.  In  1842,  the  prob- 
able year  when  Iowa  Wesleyan  was  first  planned,  Dr.  Berry 
became  pastor  of  Wesley  Chapel,  Indianapolis,  at  the  early 
age  of  27  years.  Henry  Ward  Beecher  was  pastor  of  Second 
Presbyterian  church  in  the  same  city.  Beecher's  eloquence 
had  already  given  him  a  rapidly  spreading  fame.  Ere  young 
Berry  had  been  long  at  Wesley  Chapel,  a  large  and  growing 
audience  sat  under  his  ministry,  and  it  is  written  that 
''Honors  were  evenly  divided"  between  the  two  young  divines. 
Mr.  Beecher's  name  is  a  household  word  throughout  Anglo- 
Saxonism,  and  Mr.  Berry's  might  have  been  had  he  not  been

ape  lis. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  board  of  trustees,  held  November  L'O 
1857,  Rev.  James  L,  Leavitt  was  elected  president  following 
the  lesignation  of  Dr.  Berry,  but  declined  to  accept  the 
position,  and  Rev.  Charles  Elliott.  D.D.,  LL,D.,  was  elected 
president  at  the  same  meeting. 

Dr.  ElLott's  service  as  president  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  covered 
two  terms.  The  first  was  November  26,  1857  to  June  22,  1861 
and  the  second  June  23,  1863,  to  September  26,  1866.  In  the 
interim  between  these  two  presidencies,  during  the  trying 
days  of  the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  he  was  editor  of  the  Central 
Christian  Advocate,  St.  Louis,  to  which  position  the  General 
Conference  of  1860,  of  which,  he  was  a  member,  had  elected 
him.  He  was  bold,  daring,  aggressive,  and  sometimes  defiant 
in  the  Union  cause.  He  earned  for  himself  the  name  o?  War 
Editor.  Charles  Elliott  was  great  as  a  thinker  and  a  writer. 
His  executive  ability  was  good,  and  on  pulpit  and  platform 
his  was  an  utterance  sturdy,  convincing,  commanding,  and 
long  to  be  remembered. 

Dr.  Elliott  did  many  good  things,  and  some  things  notable. 
Among  others  was  a  most  unusual  event  at  the  time  and  one 
important  in  history.  Up  to  1859  no  woman  had  ever  grad- 
uated with  a  Baccalaureate  degree  from  a  co-educational  in- 
stitution. This  first  distinction  belongs,  to  Lucy  W.  Kill- 
patrick  whose  father  was  one  of  the  early  trustees  of  Iowa 
Wesleyan  and  a  supporter  and  promoter  from  its  early  history 
to  the  time  of  his  death.  Miss  Killpatrick  had  been  a  student 
at  Iowa  Wesleyan  for  four  years,  and  in  1859  she  graduated 
with  the  degree  of  A.B.  She  received  the  usual  diploma,  and 
Dr.  Elliott  also  gave  her  a  Special  Diploma  as  a  fitting  empha- 
sis of  her  unusual  achievement.  Soon  after  graduating  she 
married  George  W.  Byrkit,  A.M.,  class  of  1857,  and  shared 
with  him  the  experiences  of  an  itinerant  Methodist  preacher 
in  the  Iowa  Conference. 


2Q  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

The  Civil  War  made  large  inroads  upon  the  student  body 
of  Iowa  Wesleyan.  When  the  call  to  the  defense  of  the  coun- 
try and  the  flag  came,  and  the  student  body  was  assured  that 
100  days  would  put  down  the  "Impudent  rebellion,"  the 
patriotic  flame  burned  high,  and  many  of  Wesleyan's  boys  en- 
listed under  the  flag  for  100  days,  whereunder  a  goodly  num- 
ber re-enlisted  and  served  for  a  number  of  years.  Those  were 
"the  days  that  tried  men's  souls."  The  problem  of  Christian 
education  under  denominational  direction,  always  perplexing, 
was  then  especially  so. 

Dr.  Elliott  found  his  duties  as  editor  of  the  Central  Chris- 
tian Advocate,  upon  which  service  he  entered  in  1860,  so 
exacting  that  in  June  1861  he  asked  to  be  relieved  from  the 
presidency   of  Wesleyan. 

He  was  succeeded  by  George  B.  Jocelyn,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  whose 
term  of  service  was  June  22,  1861,  to  September  10, 
1862.  President  Jocelyn  was  an  alumnus  of  Indiana  Asbury. 
He  was  in  repute  as  an  orator  and  preacher.  His  brief  ad- 
ministration of  Wesleyan  was  characterized  with  the  tur- 
moil incident  to  the  unrest  of  war.  He  went  from  Wesleyan 
to  Albion  College,  where  he  had  a  much  longer  professional 
career,  filled  with  abounding  and  honorable  service. 

On  June  23,  1863,  Charles  Elliott  was  again  elected  presi- 
dent. He  continued  in  the  editorial  chair  of  the  Central 
Christian  Advocate  until  1864,  giving  to  Iowa  Wesleyan  such 
time  as  he  could  command  from  the  exacting  duties  of  that 
onerous  position,  when  he  returned  to  Mt.  Pleasant  and  con- 
tinued with  Wesleyan  until  September  26,  1866.  He  was 
large-hearted  and  tender  in  his  administration.  Those  who 
were  under  him  say  that  he  had  but  to  stand  on  the  platform 
at  Chapel  and,  after  some  prank  or  mischief  or  wrong  had 
been  committed,  say:  "Boys,  you  have  hurt  my  feelings,"  to 
guarantee  that  the  offense  would  not  be  repeated. 

But  the  years  were  speeding;  Dr.  Elliott  was  growing  old. 
The  resolutions  of  appreciation  spread  upon  the  pagec"  of 
our  record  at  a  meeting  of  the  trustees  of  date  September  28, 
1866,  are  full  of  tenderness  and  love.  They  recite  his  suc- 
cessful   professional    career   of   more    than   half   a    century;

rank  him  among  the  foremost  editors  and  authors  of  the 
church  and  the  best  thinkers  and  writers  of  the  age;  they 
make  him  the  honored  instrument  in  establishing  the  first 
female  college  in  Christendom,  and  resolve:  "That  it  is  with 
deepest  sorrow  that  we  bow  to  this  dispensation  of  Providence 
which  compells  us  to  accept  the  resignation  of  our  venerable 
and  beloved  friend  and  fellow-laborer;  that  the  most  cordial 
gratitude  of  the  church  is  due  to  Dr.  Elliott  for  the  true  and 
faithful  manner  in  which  he  has  fostered  every  trust  commit- 
ted to  his  keeping  and  for  the  ablei  manner  in  which  he  has 
performed  the  duties  of  those  stations  to  which  he  has  been 
called;  that  in  retiring  from  the  active  duties  of  life  we  ex- 
tend to  him  our  warmest  sympathies  and  assure  him  of  a  place 
in  our  affections  and  our  prayers." 

Dr.  Elliott  lived  until  1869,  when  at  the  age  of  77,  his  spirit 
came  to  the  fruition  of  freedom,  and  his  body  was  laid  to  rest 
in  beautiful  Forest  Home  Cemetery  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  whither 
not  infrequent  pilgrimages  are  made  that  men  may  pause  a. 
moment  at  the  tomb  of  Charles  Elliott,  whose  ''name  is  as 
ointment  poured  forth." 

In  the  interim  between  the  return  of  President  Jocelyn  and 
the  active  service  of  Dr.  Elliott's  second  term,  Wesley  J. 
Spaulding,  A.  M.,  Ph.  D.,  was  vice-president  and  the  act- 
ing executive  head  of  the  institution.  Dr.  Spaulding  was  the 
son-in-law  of  Dr.  Berry.  He  graduated  at  Indiana  Asbury  Uni- 
versity in  1854.  He  took  the  chair  of  Greek  Language  and  Lit- 
erature in  Iowa  Wesleyan  in  September,  1855,  and  was  in 
continuous  service  until  1864,  with  executive  official  relation 
during  the  last  two  years  of  this  period  as  stated  above. 

Dr.  Elliott's  resignation  was  accepted  September  26,  1866, 
and  on  the  same  day,  Rev.  Charles  Avery  Holmes,  A.  M., 
D.  D.,  was  elected  president.  The  work  of  re-organization  and 
re-construction  after  the  sad  havoc  of  war's  influence  upon  the 
school,  so  well  begun  by  Dr  Elliott,  was  ably  carried  forward 
by  President  Holmes.  This  administration  was  not  character- 
ized by  unusual  events.  Rather  was  it  his  mission  to  advance 
every  interest  upon  the  re-organization  already  affected  by  Dr. 
Elliott.     To  this  task  he  addressed  himself  with  fidelity  and 


28  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

loyalty,  and  witnessed  as  a  reward  of  his  industry  growing 
numbers  of  pupils,  and  graduates  from  year  to  year.  It  was 
to  the  credit  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  that  during  the  war  days 
classes  of  reasonable  numbers  had  been  graduated  annually, 
as  has  been  true  every  year  from,  1856  to  the  present  year, 
when  Wesleyan  sends  out  her  62nd  successive  class. 

The  valuable  and  efficient  services  of  Dr.  Holmes  continued 
to  the  first  of  January,  1869,  when  he  severed  his  relation 
with  the  University  and  returned  to  Ohio,  that  he  might  de- 
vote himself  to  the  pastorate.  He  was  a  devoted,  earnest,  God- 
ly man,  an  able  scholar  and  preacher,  and  preferred  the  quiet 
and  good-fellowship  of  a  pastorate  to  the  anxieties,  perplex- 
ities and  vexations  of  a  college  presidency. 

In  1869  the  Hon.  James  Harlan  took  the  presidency  of  Iowa 
Wesleyan,  to  serve  for  a  year,  when  he  again  tendered  his 
resignation.  On  the  28th  of  June,  1898,  full  of  years  and 
honors,  Senator  Harlan  accepted  the  chancellorship  of  the 
university,  in  which  position  he  continued  until  his  death. 
Iowa  W|esleyan  owes  more  to  this  good  man  than  to  any  other. 
He  gave  46  years  of  service  to  the  board  of  trustees.  Many 
years  he  was  a  member  of  the  executive  committee.  Altogether 
he  was  president  three  years,  and  chancellor  sixteen  months. 
In  all  these  capacities  his  counsels  were  valuable,  his  service 
able,  his  purse  generous,  his  sacrifice  ready,  and  his  love 
lavish  for  this  old  college  that  filled  such  a  large  place  in 
his  life. 

It  seems  eminently  fitting  that  this  noble  and  worthy  man, 
whose  sacrifice  for  this  institution  through  forty-five  continu- 
ous years,  testified  a  devotion  unusual  and  intense,  should 
have  had  official  connection  in  the  evening-time  of  his  life. 
Sweet  of  spirit,  genial  of  disposition,  interested  to  the  last 
in  the  welfare  of  the  humblest  student  registered  in  any  de- 
partment of  the  college,  this  official  recognition  gave  him 
pleasure  and  Wesleyan  distinguished  honor.  Born  in  1820, 
graduated  from  Indiana  Asbury  in  1845,  president  first  in  1853, 
again  in  1869,  and  chancellor  in  1898-99,  James  Harlan  left 
the  impress  of  his  vigorous  young  manhood  and  the  bene- 
diction of  his  ripened  and  mellowed  life  at  its  maturity  upon

Iowa  Wesleyan  University.  He,  too,  sleeps  in  Forest  Home, 
but  his  memory  is  green  and  his  name  is  precious  everywhere 
in  Iowa  and  in  many  parts  of  our  great  republic. 

Following  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Holmes,  January  1,  1869, 
Rev.  J.  H.  Hopkins,  A.B.,  A.M.,  vice-president,  was  made  act- 
ing president  and  served  in  that  capacity  under  President  Har- 
lan, who  was  then  in  the  U  S.  Senate,  until  June  9,  1870,  when 
the  Rev.  John  WJieeler,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  was  elected  president. 

President  Wheeler  entered  upon  the  duties  of  his  office 
at  the  opening  of  the  next  school  year  and  continued  for  a 
term  of  five  years.  He  was  not  without  college  experience. 
He  was  known  as  the  founder  of  Baldwin  University  at 
Eerea,  Ohio,  where  he  had  acquired  valuable  experience.  He 
had  also  been  a  professor  of  Latin  at  Indiana  Asbury.  He 
was  a  successful  and  valuable  administrator,  instructor  and 
Christian  minister. 

For  the  15  years  preceeding  Dr.  Wheeler's  administration 
no  realty  had  been  acquired  or  buildings  erected  at  Iowa 
Wesleyan.  They  had  hoped  long  and  prayed  much.  Dr. 
Wheeler  was  aggressive  for  results  in  this  direction  and  suc- 
ceeded in  securing  the  affiliation  of  the  Mt.  Pleasant  German 
College,  an  institution  then  organized  and  conducted  under 
the  auspices  of  the  German  branch  of  the  Methodist  Episco- 
pal Church. 

,  By  the  terms  of  the  contract  between  the  trustees  of  fowa 
Wesleyan  University  and  the  trustees  of  the  Mt.  Pleasant 
German  College,  the  east  campus,  a  tract  of  some  five  acres 
hereinbefore  described,  was  bounded  and  defined  in  perpetual 
lease  to  the  Mt.  Pleasant  German  College,  together  with  a 
building  erected  at  a  cost  of  some  $16,000.00  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  trustees  of  Iowa  Wesleyan,  and  at  the  expense  of 
its  treasury.  This  was  done  on  the  condition  that  the  Mt. 
Pleasant  German  College  provide  immediately  an  endowment 
of  $20,000.00  which,  with  the  aid  of  the  patrons  of  Wesleyan 
who  gave  $8,000.00  they  did,  and  that  they  maintain  forever 
an  independent  treasury  supporting  their  own  faculty  and  the 
expense  of  operating  their  own  plant.     In  the  <?vent  of  the 


30  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

failure  of  the  Mt.  Pleasant  German  College  to  maintain  an 
institution  of  the  class  and  type  agreed  to,  and  the  discontinu- 
ance of  the  Mt.  Pleasant  German  College  as  an  institution  of 
learning,  the  building  and  property  were  to  revert  to  Iowa 
Wesleyan  University. 

This  proved  a  very  helpful  and  valuable  affiliation.  It  was 
a  very  good  thing  for  the  German  Methodist  people,  who 
probably  could  not  have  maintained  an  independent  college 
here,  and  also  a  very  good  thing  for  Iowa  Wesleyan,  affording 
to  her  advantages  of  instruction  in  the  German  language 
under  teachers  born  to  the  tongue,  such  as  probably  she  could 
not  yet  have  had  under  other  circumstances. 

The  German  College  did  a  valuable  work.  It  had  a  suc- 
cession of  worthy  and  able  presidents,  whose  names  are 
given  in  the  schedules  appended  to  this  sketch.  The  vener- 
able R.  Havinghorst,  D.D.,  vice  president  from  1873-74;  the 
able  and  philosophical  Dr.  Frederick  Munz  from  1893-97,  and 
the  polished,  finished,  gentleman  and  scholar,  Rev.  Edwin  S. 
Havighorst,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  from  1898  to  1908;  Dr.  H.  G.  Leist, 
from  1908  to  1909,  are  personally  known  to  the  writer  as  men 
worthy  their  lofty  callings  and  the  high  confidences  imposed 
by  the  great  church  whose  servants  they  are. 

It  is  probable  that  the  other  presidents  of  the  German  Col- 
lege were  not  less  worthy  of  mention,  but  limits  of  space  and 
lack  of  information  forbid  more  than  the  listing  of  their  names 
as  above  noted. 

During  the  administration  of  President  Havinghorst,  a 
beautiful  German  College  Chapel  was  erected.  It  was  begun 
in  1900  and  completed  in  1901,  at  a  cost  of  $8,000.00,  and  serv- 
ed the  double  purpose  of  a  chapel  building  for  the  college  and 
a  house  of  worship  for  the  German  Methodist  people.  As  ex- 
plained later  in  this  sketch,  the  German  college  was,  in  1909, 
merged  with  Central  Wesleyan  college  at  Warrenton,  Mo. 
The  buildings  and  property  of  the  institution  along  with  some 
$12,000.00  of  endowment  reverted,  according  to  the  terms  of 
the  original  agreement,  to  Iowa  Wesleyan  University. 


HISTORICAL   SKETCH  31 

The  administration  of  Dr.  Wheeler  was  an  agreeable  and 
pleasant  one.  He  was  a  hard  worker,  a  man  of  large  sympa- 
thies, congenial  spirit,  admired  by  the  people  and  loved  by 
the  students.  He  severed  his  relation  as  president  by  resigna- 
tion, June  16,  1875.  He  returned  to  the  pastorate,  and  was  a 
worthy  and  efficient  Christian  minister  until  his  death,  which 
occurred  in  1881. 

On  June  16,  1875,  the  day  that  President  Wheeler  resigned, 
John  M.  Mansfield,  A.  M.,  an  alumnus  of  Iowa  Wesleyan, 
class  of  1864,  was  elected  vice-president,  in  which  office  he 
continued  for  one  year.  Professor  Mansfield  had  the  chair  of 
Chemistry  and  Natural  History  from  1864  to  1877,  and  was 
well  qualified  and  equipped  by  education  and  experience  for 
the  important  duties  incumbent  upon  him  in  the  office  of  vice- 
president,  which  duties  he  discharged  with  faithfulness  and 
efficiency. 

At  the  resignation  of  President  Wheeler,  Professor  Wesley 
J.  Spaulding,  who  had  been  out  of  the  faculty  since  1864,  was 
re-elected  a  member  of  the  faculty  and  made  acting  president, 
which  office  he  held  from  September  17,  1875  to  September  7, 
1876,  when  he  was  elected  president.  For  about  eight  years  Dr. 
Spaulding  was  president. 

From  1879-81,  Professor  Wray  Beatty,  M.  D.,  Ph.  D., 
who  was  in  the  faculty  from  1855  to  1864,  and  again 
from  1875  to  1881,  was  vice-president  Professor  Beatty  was 
an  alumnus  of  Iowa  Wesleyan,  A.  B.,  class  of  '57.  He  had  also 
taken  a  scientific  course  at  Ohio  Wesleyan,  where  he  gradu- 
ated, B.  S.,  in  1852. 

President  Spaulding  was  a  student  to  the  manor  born.  His 
was  a  very  fine  type  of  intellect.  A  scholar  at  graduation,  he 
was  a  student  always,  and  always  with  growing  interest  and 
increasing  delight.  He  analyzed  everything  and  everybody 
with  unusual  accuracy.  His  philosophical  temperament,  his 
great  delight  in  educational  work,  his  tendency  to  ever  prompt 
the  best  thought  and  the  deepest  inquiry  of  the  students,  made 
him  a  popular  president  and  worthy  leader  of  growing  youth 
and  developing  character.  The  years  of  his  presidency  were 
splendid  years  and  the  record  is  a  worthy  one. 


32  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

During  his  administration  the  Mt.  Pleasant  Conservatory 
of  Music,  which  had  been  in  existence  under  Dr.  A.  Rommel, 
a  German  musician  educated  to  the  art  in  his  native  land,  was 
transferred  from  its  quarters  in  the  east  side  of  the  city  to 
Iowa's  pioneer  college  building  on  the  Wesleyan  campus,  and 
affiliated  with  Iowa  Wesleyan  University.  This  conservatory 
of  music  is  among  the  first  in  the  country.  Its  alumni  stand 
high  everywhere,  and  Dr.  Rommel  is  recognized  throughout 
the  nation  as  a  musician  and  a  teacher  of  music  of  rare  abil- 
ity. From  the  time  of  the  affiliation  of  the  conservatory  in 
1877  until  January  1905  Dr.  Rommel's  official  title  was  Director 
of  Music  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  University.  At  that  time  his  title 
was  changed  to  Dean,  and  it  has  since  been  and  henceforth  is 
to  be  Dean  Rommel. 

Vice-president  under  Dr.  Spalding,  1882-84,  was  Rev.  John 
T.  McFarland,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.  Upon  the  resignation  of 
Dr  Spalding  in  June  1884,  Dr.  McFarland  was  chosen  president. 
J.  T.  Dickenson,  A.  M.,  succeeded  him  as  vice-president, 
which  office  he  occupied  from  1884  to  1886.  In  1887  Gus  Wal- 
ters, M.  S.,  class  of  '79,  was  elected  vice-president,  and 
continued  in  that  office  until  1893,  when  he  resigned.  There 
has  been  no  vice-president  in  office  at  Iowa  Wesleyan  since. 

Dr.  McFarland  was  educated  at  Iowa  Wesleyan,  but  took 
his  Baccalaureate  degree  at  Simpson  College.  President  Mc- 
Farland had  seven  splendid  years  at  Iowa  Wesleyan.  He 
enlarged  and  strengthened  the  faculty  and  gathered  about 
him  students  in  growing  numbers,  who  more  and  more  re- 
mained in  college  "for  business."  The  alumni  of  those  years 
are  worthy  men  and  women — strong  men  and  women — whose 
average  of    scholarship  and  character  is  high. 

Dr.  McFarland  was  a  profound  thinker,  and  a  very  able 
preacher  and  platform  speaker.  The  Sunday  school  and  Tract 
publications  off  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  of  which  he 
was  elected  editor  by  the  General  Conference  of  1904,  are 
ready  witnesses  to  his  ability  as  well  as  his  adaptability. 

In  his  administration  the  Chapel  and  Science  Hall  was  con- 
ceived and  planned.  Under  his  inspiration  the  trustees  began 
its  erection.     A  subscription  was  secured,  excavations  were 


HISTORICAL   SKETCH  33 

made,  and  a  foundation  put  in  in  1888.  A  careful  inspection 
of  the  resources  and  liabilities  was  made.  Foreseeing  the  dan- 
ger of  a  heavily  increased  debt,  Dr.  McFarland  said:  "I  would 
rather  see  that  foundation  under  pine  boards  and  tar  paper 
for  years  than  to  see  a  building  erected  and  a  mortgage  on  it". 
Accordingly,  a  temporary  roof  of  the  type  described  was  put 
over  the  foundation,  and  it  remained  for  three  years. 

President  McFarland  was  highly  appreciated  by  the  Con- 
ference. Their  love  for  him  and  confidence  in  him  was  testi- 
fied at  the  session  of  1887,  which  elected  him  to  the  General 
Conference  of  188S  with  a  very  large  vote. 

In  June,  1891,  President  McFarland  resigned,  and  at  the 
same  meeting  Rev.  Charles  L.  Stafford,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  was 
elected  his  successor.  Dr.  Stafford  was  an  alumnus  of  Iowa 
Wesleyan,  class  of  '71  He  was  at  the  time  of  his  election 
easily  the  leading  pulpit  orator  of  the  Iowa  Conference.  Pres- 
ident Stafford's  leadership  addressed  itself  early  to  the  erec- 
tion of  the  building  already  begun.  A  subscription  was  raised, 
and  the  original  plans  carried  forward  to  the  completion  of 
what  was  called  and  is  still  known  as  the  Chapel  and  Science 
Hall.  It  is  a  worthy  brick  structure,  three  stories  high,  and 
furnishes  accommodations  for  science  laboratories,  library, 
offices,  and  several  lecture  halls.  An  important  feature  is  the 
auditorium.  This  is  a  commodious  amphitheatre-shaped  room 
which,  with  its  main  gallery  and  back  gallery,  accommodates 
comfortably  one  thousand  people,  and  is  such  an  auditorium 
as  any  other  College  in  Iowa  might  be  proud  to  have.  Not- 
withstanding it  was  erected  during  the  trying  times  in  1892-93, 
when  materials  and  labor  were  cheap,  this  building  cost  $45,- 
000.00;  and  if  it  had  to  be  constructed  today  the  cost  would 
probably  increase  that  figure  by  $30,000.00. 

With  this  new  structure  completed,  Wesleyan's  alumni, 
patrons  and  friends  took  courage.  In  1895  Rev.  J.  F. 
Robertson,  then  pastor  at  Muscatine,  who  had  been 
holding  councils  with  one  of  his  wealthy  members, 
advised     President  Stafford     that     there     was     an     encourag- 


34  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

ing  prospect  for  help  in  his  parish.  Dr.  Stafford  visited 
Muscatine,  and  he  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Robertson  having  had  per- 
sonal interview  with  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Hershey,  came  away  with 
her  pledge  to  give  $10,000  for  a  young  woman's  home  at  Wes- 
leyan  when  the  other  patrons  and  friends  of  the  institution 
should  have  pledged  a  like  amount.  The  papers  were  execut- 
ed, and  a  few  days  afterward  this  noble  woman  went  to  her 
final  reward;  but  her  work  abides.  The  conditions  were  met 
and  more,  and  today  Elizabeth  Hershey  Hall,  a  three  story  and 
basement  brick  building,  stands  on  the  west  campus,  a  monu- 
ment to  her  devotion  and  that  of  the  many  friends  who  helped 
make  her  conditional  subscription  available.  The  structure 
was  finished  in,  1897,  at  a  cost  of  32,500.  It  made  provision 
for  seventy  young  women,  and  is  modern  in  every  way;  steam 
heat,  electric  light,  toilet,  beautiful  parlors,  woman's  gymna- 
sium, capacious  dining  room.  Some  of  the  interior  construc- 
tion was  not  completed  until  later.  The  gymnasium  was  fin- 
ished and  fitted  in  1901,  and  later  a  number  of  rooms  on  the 
third  floor.  The  total  cost  of  this  building  to  date  has  been 
about  $40,000.  President  Stafford  was  busy  with  these  material 
interests.  He  was  an  indomitable  worker,  a  veritable  toiler.  He 
literally  gave  himself  to  this  one  work  for  eight  years.  He 
enjoyed  a  gratifying  student  patronage  and  a  large  measure 
of  student  support.  His  pulpit  and  platform  utterances  will 
long  be  remembered.  The  goodly  numbers  who  graduated 
from  Wesleyan  under  his  administration  are  loyal  to  their 
Alma  Mater  and  devoted  to  their  president.  Dr.  Stafford  was 
elected  by  his  Conference  to  the  General  Conference  of  1892 
and  that  of  1896,  both  of  which  occurred  during  his  adminis- 
tration. He  was  again  chosen  in  1900  and  1912  after  he  had  re- 
turned to  the  pastorate.  This  repeated  expression  of  confidence 
on  the  part  of  his  brethren  of  the  Conference  is  both  an  ex- 
pression of  the  appreciation  of  his  work  and  a  testimonial  of 
their  personal  esteem.  In  1898  President  Stafford  resigned, 
the  resignation  to  take  effect  in  June  1899;  and  after  eight 
eventful  and  fruitful  years  he  severed  his  connection  with  the 
college. 

Rev.  Francis  Durbin  Blakeslee,  A.  M.,  D.  D.,  was  chosen  to 
succeed  him.    Dr.  Blakeslee  had  been  some  three  and  twenty 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  35 

years  the  head  of  East  Greenwich  Academy,  Rhode  Island.  He 
was  an  alumnus  of  Syracuse  University,  cultured,  refined,  ex- 
perienced, traveled  and  exceedingly  well  married.  The  west 
was  not  congenial  to  him,  and  after  a  presidency  of  one  year  he 
resigned,  to  accept  the  presidency  of  old  Cazenovia  Seminary 
in  New  York.  During  that  year  Mrs.  Blakeslee  was  the  vigi- 
lant and  worthy  preceptress  at  Elizabeth  Hershey  Hall.  Dr. 
Blakeslee  was  a  good  man,  with  many  elements  of  strength; 
and  had  he  chosen  to  remain  with  Wesleyan  for  a  term  of 
years,  doubtless  he  would  have  left  the  impress  of  his  person- 
ality and  leadership  to  a  much  larger  degree  than  is  possible  to 
an  administration  of  a  single  year.  He  and  Financial  Secretary 
Dr.  T.  J.  Myers,  put  their  heads  together  to  raise  the  indebt- 
edness. They  secured  the  services  of  Bishop  C.  C.  McCabe, 
and  at  the  session  of  the  Iowa  Conference  held  at  Mt.  Pleasant 
in  September,  1900,  a  goodly  beginning  was  made.  Thirty 
thousand  dollars  in  conditional  pledges  were  taken,  but  the 
going  of  Dr.  Blakeslee  before  the  completion  of  the  $150,000 
upon  which  these  were  contingent  made  the  effort  compara- 
tively futile. 

Following  Dr.  Blakeslee's  resignation  the  trustees  were  in 
search  of  a  president  for  eight  months.  During  this  time 
Professor  Alba  C.  Piersel,  A.  B.,  A.  M.,  of  Ohio  Wesleyan  Uni- 
versity, class  of  1890.  of  the  chair  of  Greek  and  Dean  of  the 
College  of  Liberal  Arts,  was  acting  president.  Born  and 
reared  in  a  Methodist  parsonage,  quick  of  perception,  keen  of 
intellect,  by  nature  a  student,  and  essentially  a  scholar, 
Professor  Piersel  possessed  many  elements  and  qualifications 
for  this  important  service.  The  chief  aim  of  his  year  as  act- 
ing president  was  to  hold  all  the  interests  of  the  school  firmly 
in  hand  and  direct  wisely  and  well  until  another  president 
should  be  chosen.  In  these  things  he  was  successful.  He 
sent  out  a  loyal  and  worthy  class,  and  closed  his  year  with  a 
Baccalaureate  sermon  that  is  to  many  who  heard  it  a  sweet 
memory. 

On  March  13.  1901,  Rev.  John  W.  Hancher,  B.S.,  M.S.,  A.M., 
S.T.D.,  then  pastor  of  the  M.  E.  Church  at  Herkimer,  N.  Y., 
was  elected  president.     He  entered  upon  his  duties  early  in 


36  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

May  of  that  year.  Until  commencement  he  insisted  that  act- 
ing president  Piersel  should  continue  at  the  head  of  the  insti- 
tution, preach  the  Baccalaureate  sermon  and  administer  af- 
fairs. President  Hancher  was  formally  inaugurated  Wednes- 
day, June  11,  1901.  Straightway  he  began  organization  look- 
ing to  freedom  from  debt.  Two  and  one-third  years  later 
$100,000  had  been  raised  with  which  to  free  Wesleyan  from 
debt. 

President  Hancher  brought  to  Iowa  Wesleyan  fourteen 
years'  experience  in  school  work,  six  of  them  in  the  public 
schools  where  he  began  his  public  career  as  a  teacher,  and 
eight  of  them  as  college  president.  He  loved  his  work  and 
devoted  himself  to  it  with  untiring  zeal.  For  the  more  than 
six  years  of  his  presidency  he  was  constant  in  his  services 
at  Wesleyan,  except  the  month  of  May,  1904,  in  which  he 
served  his  Conference  as  one  of  its  chosen  delegates  to  the 
General  Conference  at  Los  Angeles. 

Almost  immediately  after  the  completion  of  the  $100,- 
000.00  debt-raising  campaign, — a  truly  remarkable  financial 
accomplishment,  Dr.  Hancher,  with  his  tireless  energy,  im- 
mediately threw  himself  into  the  task  of  raising  an  emergen- 
cy fund  of  $6,000  per  year,  to  enable  the  school  to  meet  all  of 
its  obligations.  As  in  the  previous  campaign  he  was  great- 
ly assisted  by  Dr.  T.  J.  Myers,  and  other  loyal  and  faithful 
friends  of  Wesleyan,  too  numerous  to  mention.  During  the 
dark  years  when  the  college  was  under  the  cloud  of  a  heavy  in- 
debtedness and  the  annual  budget  running  far  in  excess  of  the 
income,  little  care  could  be  paid  to  the  physical  condition  of 
the  plant.  After  the  completion  of  these  two  funds,  $5,000.00 
was  raised  for  the  improvement  and  beautifying  of  the  cam- 
pus and  grounds.  As  no  competent  man  was  available,  Dr. 
Hancher  personally  superintended  this  work. 

In  addition  to  the  splendid  work  along  financial  lines,  Dr. 
Hancher  was  an  educator  of  the  truest  type.  His  aim  was 
to  make  Iowa  Wesleyan  a  well-rounded  institution;  a  school 
with  a  name  and  a  standard.  To  that  end  he  increased  the 
faculty,  strengthened  it  by  the  addition  of  strong  men  and 


HISTORICAL   SKETCH  37 

women,  so  that  Wesleyan  was  able  to  stand  in  the  first  class 
of  colleges  and  universities  of  Iowa.  The  student  body  also 
received  his  attention,  and  the  catalogues  for  each  succeeding 
year  of  his  administration  showed  a  steady  increase  in  the 
enrollment. 

Dr.  Handier  gave  to  Iowa  Wesleyan  six  and  one-half  years 
of  faithful,  loyal,  devoted  and  untiring  service.  During  that 
period,  he  was  twice  called  upon  to  undergo  dangerous  surgi- 
cal operations.  The  nervous  shock  consequent  thereupon 
together  with  the  multiplicity  of  his  responsibilities,  almost 
culminated  in  a  physical  collapse,  and  in  November,  1907,  he 
was  obliged  to  ask  to  be  relieved  from  further  service  in 
connection  with  Iowa  Wesleyan,  in  order  that  he  might  be 
permitted  to  rebuild  his  fast  failing  health. 

For  two  years  he  was  engaged  in  business  pursuits  in  Old 
Mexico,  where  he  was  unusually  successful,  but  the  over- 
throw of  the  Diaz  administration,  consequent  upon  the  revolu- 
tion, destroyed  his  holdings  and  he  returned  to  this  country. 
Shortly  thereafter,  he  was  made  counselor  of  Methodist  col- 
leges, and  in  this  capacity,  raised  many  thousands  of  dollars. 
In  1912,  he  was  elected  assistant  secretary  to  the  Board  of 
Education.  During  this  quadrennium,  Dr.  Hancher  played  a 
prominent  part  in  the  raising  of  over  $13,000,000.00  for  Meth- 
odist universities,  colleges,  academies  and  secondary  schools. 
As  appreciation  of  this  service,  the  General  Conference  of 
1916  made  him  Associate  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion and  chairman  of  the  Jubilee  Commission.  In  this 
capacity,  Dr.  Hancher  is  now  engaged  in  the  most  stupend- 
uous  task  of  raising  over  $20,000,000.00  for  Methodist  schools. 
His  service  to  Iowa  Wesleyan,  during  the  recent  campaign 
for  $500,000.00  of  new  endowment,  is  mentioned  elsewhere 
in  this  sketch. 

Just  at  the  close  of  President  Hancher's  administration, 
November,  1907,  Mrs.  Robert  T.  Lincoln  (Mary  Harlan)  deed- 
ed the  old  Harlan  home,  with  the  furniture  and  belongings, 
to  the  College.  It  is  a  fine  old  house  where  so  many  festivities 
of  Senator  Harlan's  best  days  occurred.     The  lot  has  a  front- 


38  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

age  of  two  hundred  feet  and  a  depth  approximately  the  same. 
Immediately  upon  the  transfer  of  this  valuable  piece  of  prop- 
erty to  the  College,  the  Executive  Committee  ordered  the  in- 
stallation of  a  new  heating  plant  in  the  house  and  enlarged 
the  basement,  thereby  adding  greatly  to  the  comfort  and  con- 
venience of  the  old  Harlan  mansion. 

Upon  the  resignation  of  President  Hancher  in  the  fall  of 
1907,  a  committee  was  at  once  appointed  to  find  his  successor. 
After  the  church  had  been  thoroughly  canvassed  and  scores 
of  candidates  had  been  considered  the  committee  finally 
selected  Edwin  A.  Schell,  A.  M.,  Ph.  D.,  D.  D.,  at  that 
time  District  Superintendent  of  the  Crawfordsville  District 
of  the  Northwest  Indiana  Conference.  The  new  president 
attended  General  Conference  of  1908  and  assumed  his  duties 
here  in  the  latter  part  of  May  of  that  year. 

President  Schell  was  born  at  Deer  Creek,  Indiana,  and  was 
48  years  old  at  the  time  of  his  election.  He  graduated  at 
Northwestern  University,  from  which  institution  he  also  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  A.  M.  During  his  college  work  he  took 
the  Kirk  Oratorical  prize,  much  coveted  by  Northwestern  stu- 
dents. He  was  a  Phi  Beta  Kappa  man  in  his  class.  He  served 
as  pastor  during  his  college  course,  building  and  organizing  the 
Methodist  church  at  Hammond,  and  while  at  that  place  he 
served  as  correspondent  for  the  Chicago  Tribune,  and  he 
counts  this  work  a  very  important  part  of  his  training.  He 
was  admitted  to  the  Northwestern  Indiana  Conference  in  1886, 
having  previously  served  as  a  supply  for  three  years.  After 
pastorates  at  South  Bend,  Ind.,  and  Younkers,  N.  Y.,  he!  was 
elected  General  Secretary  of  the  Epworth  League  and  there- 
after became  for  one  year  Secretary  of  the  Epworth  Hospital, 
South  Bend,  Indiana.  The  financial  experience  gained  here 
and  later  in  the  district,  and  as  dedicator  of  churches  stood 
him  in  good  stead  after  coming  to  Mt.  Pleasant.  After  serving 
six  years  as  Superintendent  of  the  Crawfordsville  district, 
where  he  had  a  record  of  assisting  in  the  building  of  twenty- 
four  churches  and  eighteen  parsonages  he  was  elected  to  the 
presidency  of  Iowa  Wesleyan.  He  has  always  been  a  writer 
for  current  magazines,  and  a  lecturer  in  wide  demand.     Illi- 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  35 

nois  Wesleyan  gave  him  the  degree  of  Ph.  D.  for  post  graduate 
work  in  1S91,  and  Hedding  college  conferred  upon  him  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity  in  1892.  December  1912  to  June 
1913,  President  and  Mrs.  Schell  made  a  circumnavigating  tour, 
and  Dr.  Schell  lectured  for  three  weeks  to  the  Teachers' 
Assembly  at  Baguio,  P.  L,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Insular 
Government. 

On  the  6th  of  April  1907,  Andrew  Carnegie  in  a  letter  had 
promised  $25,000  to  the  endowment  on  condition  that  the 
College  would  raise  $75,000  and  make  the  Carnegie  Fund 
$100,000.00.  This  was  the  first  work  that  engaged  the  atten- 
tion of  the  new  president  and  this  fund  was  triumphantly 
completed  April  6,  1910.  This  initial  gift  of  Mr.  Carnegie's 
was  the  largest  ever  given  to  the  College  up  to  this  time. 
Meanwhile,  in  June  1909,  Dr.  A.  C.  Piersel,  who  had  been  the 
Dean,  retired  to  enter  the  pastorate  of  the  First  Church  at 
Springfield,  Illinois,  and  Dr.  Elmer  E.  Lymer  was  elected 
Dean.  The  first  year  of  President  Schell's  administration 
was  greatly  disturbed  by  the  moving  of  the  German  college 
and  its  merger  with  the  institution  at  Warrenton,  Missouri. 
The  question  of  the  transferring  of  the  endowment  was  finally 
arbitrated  before  a  committee  of  Bishops,  consisting  of  the 
late  Bishop  Walden,  Bishop  Newlen  and  Bishop  Anderson. 
The  award  of  the  Bishops  that  the  amount  should  be  equally 
divided,  was  after  some  months,  changed  by  the  parties  inter- 
ested therein  so  that  Iowa  Wesleyan  received  forty  per  cent, 
instead  of  the  amount  originally  awarded.  This  became  the 
basis  of  the  Seventieth  Year  Endowment  Fund,  which  was 
finished  July  1,  1912,  with  an  aggregate  in  money  and  prop- 
erty, approximating  $100,000. 

The  installation  of  a  fine  central  heating  plant  was  the  great 
work  of  the  year  1910.  A  subscription  was  taken  at  the  Board 
meeting  in  June  of  that  year,  among  the  Trustees  and  this 
wa3  supplemented  by  a  subscription  at  the  Conference  con- 
vened at  Pella,  Iowa,  by  which,  and  from  other  sources,  about 
$6,000  was  obtained.  With  that  as  a  basis  the  plant  was  in- 
stalled in  the  basement  of  the  Chapel  building  at  a  cost  of 
(including  arrangement  of  the  room,  the  chimney,  and  the  plant 


40  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

itself),  about  $12,500.  $5,000  of  this  sum  was  never  raised 
and  was  carried  in  the  National  State  Bank  until  the  refund- 
ing of  the  floating  indebtedness  in  June,  1912.  In  1912  Presi- 
dent Schell  was  invited  to  go  as  a  special  lecturer  to  the 
Teacher's  Assembly,  at  Bagio,  in  the  mountain  province  of 
Luzon,  in  the  Philippine  Islands,  and  he  was  absent  during  the 
first  six  months  of  1913.  The  remainder  of  that  year  and  1914 
were  characterized  by  an  insistent  demand  to  increase  the 
Educational  Collection.  This  collection,  little  by  little,  had 
been  growing  under  the  loyal  leadership  of  the  District  Super- 
intendents of  the  Conference,  until  in  the  fall  of  1913,  it 
reached  about  $7,200.  By  this  special  campaign,  which  in- 
cluded rallies  in  each  of  the  four  districts,  the  collection  in 
1915  reached  the  high  water  mark  of  $11,200.  The  interest 
of  the  Conference  has  never  flagged  during  these  years. 

The  school  year  of  1914  was  dignified  by  two  events  of 
more  than  passing  importance.  The  largest  class  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  school,  forty-four  in  number,  were  given  their 
diplomas.  At  commencement  time,  the  college  was  singularly 
honored  by  the  presentation  of  an  oil  painting  of  Dr.  Charles 
Elliott,  LL.  D.,  the  great  war  time  president  of  the  College, 
and  editor  of  the  Central  Christian  Advocate,  by  his  daughter, 
Miss  Phoebe  Leech  Elliott.  The  speech  of  acceptance  by  Ex- 
President,  Charles  W.  Stafford,  in  which,  in  glowing  terms, 
he  paid  tribute  to  this  great  servant  of  the  church,  will  long 
be  remembered. 

At  the  Annual  Conference  at  Winfield,  the  first  after  Presi- 
dent Schell  began  to  get  acquainted,  the  Conference  ordered 
that  Friday  evening  should  be  kept  free  for  the  Educational 
Anniversary,  and  a  banquet  beginning  at  5:30  p.  m.  followed  by 
the  Educational  Address  began  to  be  the  fashion.  This  has 
been  the  order  every  year  since,  and  has  given  opportunity  for 
the  laymen  and  preachers  of  the  Conference  to  express  their 
devotion  and  even  enthusiasm  to  the  higher  educational  work 
carried  on  by  the  Conference. 

President  Schell  is  now  completing  his  ninth  year  of  serv- 
ice. This  is  a  longer  administration  than  was  privileged  to 
any  of  the  eminent  men  who  preceeded  him  in  his  office.     It 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  41 

is  significant  to  note  that  his  crowning  achievement,  the  com- 
pletion of  the  Diamond  Jubilee  half  million,  came  in  the 
months  when  other  presidents  had  left  or  were  packing  up 
preparatory  to  their  departure. 

President  Schell  has  enjoyed  the  largest  measure  of  suc- 
cess during  these  nine  years.  The  endowment  has  grown 
from  $60,000  to  $750,000.  The  college  enrollment  has  practic- 
ally doubled.  The  faculty  has  been  strengthened  and  new 
friends  of  the  school  added  by  the  thousand.  His  past  efforts 
are  but  a  promise  of  what  the  future  will  hold.  Each  year  by 
his  presence  the  school  will  secure  the  unalloyed  benefit  of 
continuity  and  cumulation.  The  author  feels  that  the  whole 
situation  in  regard  to  Iowa  Wesleyan  is  summed  up  in  the 
closing  paragraph  of  the  President's  Report  to  the  Mid-Year 
meeting  of  the  Trustees  in  February,  1917. 

"Events  have  now  proved  true  beyond  all  question  what 
I  have  hestiatingly,  often  doubtingly,  but  always  sincerely 
for  almost  nine  years  reiterated  that  wre  have  here  at  Mount 
Pleasant  and  in  the  Iowa  Conference,  the  opportunity  for 
founding  wrorthily  and  well,  and  the  constituency  for  main- 
taining an  institution  of  learning,  that  in  its  outcome  will 
bless  all  mankind." 

In  May,  1915,  the  new  pipe  organ,  perhaps  one  of  the  finest 
instruments  in  any  college  chapel  in  the  state,  after  long 
years  of  expectancy,  was  finally  installed.  It  exceeds,  in  both 
tone  and  size,  the  greatest  expectations  of  all  interested. 
This  splendid  addition  to  the  college  equipment  was  secured 
through  the  generosity  of  the  congregation  of  St.  James 
Church,  of  Chicago,  the  quick  comprehension  of  a  great  op- 
portunity by  Mr.  Hugh  A.  Cole,  and  the  devoted  faithfulness 
of  the  women  of  the  Ladies'  Organ  Fund.  Before  the  organ 
was  installed,  the  interior  of  the  chapel  was  re-decorated  and 
a  new  roof  put  on. 

The  year  1915  opened  with  the  College  having  a  produc- 
tive endowment  of  essentially  $200,000,  with  certain  lands 
whose  value  was  approximately  another  $50,000  and  it  was 
already  apparent  that  the  progress  the  institution  was  mak- 


42  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

ing  in  students  and  in  public  influence  required  a  leap  forward 
rather  than  the  slow  growth  by  which  it  had  been  character- 
ized. The  Conference,  which  met  at  Centerville  received  a 
proposal  from,  Parsons  College  for  the  merger  of  the  two 
institutions  and  a  special  committee,  consisting  of  President 
Schell,  Mr.  Hugh  A.  Cole,  President  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
Dr.  C.  L.  Tennant,  Dr.  U.  S.  Smith,  and  Hon.  H.  M.  Havner, 
were  appointed  to  confer  with  the  like  committee  appointed 
by  Parsons  College  as  to  a  merger  of  the  two  institutions. 
The  Board  of  Trustees  met  twice  in  special  session  in 
October  and  November  of  the  year  and  a  tentative  proposal 
from  Ottumwa  for  the  location  of  both  institutions  there,  was 
given  serious  consideration  by  the  College  authorities,  but 
the  Parsons  Board  were  apparently  unfavorable  to  a  removal 
from  Fairfield  and  to  a  merger  in  Ottumwa.  On  December 
20th  of  that  year  the  special  committee  appointed  by  the  Con- 
ference proposed  to  the  citizens  of  Mount  Pleasant  and  Henry 
County,  that  if  they  would  raise  $100,000  in  good  subscriptions 
the  Conference — that  is  the  territory  outside  of  Henry  County 
— would  raise  $150,000,  and  make  an  added  quarter  of  a  mil- 
lion for  the  endowment.  This  proposition  was  enthusiastic- 
ally received  and  Mount  Pleasant  and  Henry  County  com- 
pleted their  $100,000  by  February  1,  1916.  Even  before  that 
a  special  session  of  the  Conference  had  been  called  at  Ot- 
tumwa. At  this  session  in  the  forenoon,  the  Conference  un- 
der wrote  the  action  of  the  committee  which  they  had  ap- 
pointed and  certain  prominent  laymen,  who  loved  the  institu- 
tion, notably  Hugh  A.  Cole,  Carl  S.  Williams,  Gardner  Cowles, 
Chris  Haw,  W.  J.  Steckel,  and  others  expressed  the  opinion 
rather  forcibly  that  it  would  take  a  half  million  to  make  an 
adequate  program  to  guarantee  the  future  of  the  College  and 
in  the  afternoon  session  the  entire  program  was  reconsid- 
ered. The  Mount  Pleasant  contingent  present  agreed  that  if 
the  Conference  would  raise  $350,000  instead  of  the  $150,000 
which  was  formerly  proposed,  they  would  add  another  $50,000 
to  their  offering,  dividing  the  half  million  into  $350,000  from 
the  Conference  and  $150,000  from  Mount  Pleasant  and  Henry 
County.  This  rather  staggering  sum  after  much  prayer  and 
hesitation  was  voted  and  the  work  of  the  campaign  was  at 
once  inaugurated. 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  43 

Mr.  Herbert  X.  Jeffrey,  who  had  graduated  with  the  class 
of  1914  and  who  had  been  assisting  in  the  student  campaign, 
was  put  in  charge  of  the  publicity  department.  President 
Schell,  himself,  assumed  direction  of  the  larger  subscriptions, 
and  Dr.  John  W.  Handier,  of  the  Board  of  Education,  came 
back  to  render  his  fine  service  in  the  way  of  the  popular  sub- 
scriptions; with  two  notable  interruptions  for  the  General 
Conference  and  for  the  summer  months,  the  campaign  went 
forward  and  was  triumphantly  concluded  on  January  1,  1917. 

Meanwhile  at  the  March  meeting  of  the  North  Central 
Asociation.  Iowa  Wesleyan  was  accorded  membership  in  that 
standardizing  educational  body.  In  November  preceding,  the 
University  Senate  recognized  the  College  as  a  standard  in- 
stutition  of  the  Church  and  with  the  membership  of  the  Col- 
lege in  the  Association  of  American  Colleges,  its  rank  be- 
came unquestionably  settled  and  has  not  since  been  challeng- 
ed. Columbia  University  was  one  of  the  last  institutions  to 
accept  its  degrees  as  full  entrance  requirements  for  their  post- 
graduate courses  of  study  and  the  rating  of  the  College  is 
now  standard  and  the  committee  appointed  to  arrange  a  pro- 
gram for  the  celebration  of  its  "Diamond  Jubilee"  is  able  to 
report  to  the  public  that  the  College  has  approximately 
$750,000  productive  endowment  and  the  friends  of  Christian 
Education  in  this  section  of  the  state  may  make  their  bene- 
factions with  the  knowledge  that  the  College  shall  in  all  prob- 
ability stand  for  a  thousand  years. 

Soon  after  the  opening  of  the  fall  semester  in  1916  Dr.  E. 
E.  Lymer,  who  for  seven  years  had  acted  as  Dean  and  Audi- 
tor, was  elected  president  of  Gooding  College,  Gooding,  Idaho. 
He  was  one  of  a  long  list  of  eminent  men  who  had  left  the 
college  for  important  educational  or  ministerial  positions.  It 
will  be  remembered  that  President  Harlan  was  elected  to  the 
United  States  Senate;  President  Elliott  was  elected  Editor  of 
the  Central  Christian  Advocate,  while  President  McFarland 
went  to  a  pastorate  at  Bloomington,  from  whence  after  sev- 
eral changes  he  came  to  the  editorship  of  the  Sunday  school 
publications  of  the  Methodist  church.  Dr.  Hancher  became 
Associate  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Education,  and  Dr.  Piersel 


44  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

went  to  a  pastorate  at  Springfield,  Illinois,  and  later  became 
District  Superintendent  of  the  Urbana  district.  During  Dean 
Lymer's  service,  Professor  Gardner  went  to  Kansas  Univers- 
ity, Professor!  G.  Ware  Stephens  to  the  University  of  Maine, 
while  Professors  Behymer,  Hedges,  Daugherty,  and  the  M'sses 
DeNice  and  Rader  had  all  been  elected  to  advanced  positions 
elsewhere.  The  election  of  Dr.  Lymer  as  President  of  a  col- 
lege was  therefore  entirely  in  order  and  his  abilities  and 
scholarship  made  it  altogether  not  an  unexpected  promotion. 
On  his  retirement  October  20th,  Dr.  R.  E.  Luebbers,  Iowa 
Wesleyan,  1909,  who  received  his  post-graduate  degree  from 
Boston,  and  after  a  year  in  Europe  had  taken  the  chair  of  Po- 
litical Economy,  was  elected  Dean  to  fill  the  vacancy,  created 
upon  the  departure  of  Dr.  Lymer.  Mr.  Adam  Weir,  also  a 
graduate  of  the  institution,  was  elected  Auditor,  thereupon 
separating  the  offices  of  Dean  and  Auditor,  which  together 
had  been  filled  for  many  years  so  creditably  by  Dr.  Lymer. 


The  statement  that  we  have  too  many  Methodist  Colleges 
in  Iowa  is  no  longer  put  forward  with  the  assurance  that  for- 
merly characterized  it.  There  are  five  standard  Methodist 
colleges  in  Iowa  or  one  for  each  65,000  members  approximate- 
ly: the  Disciples  of  Christ  have  one  college  and  they  have 
only  60,720  members:  the  Lutherans  have  two  colleges  and 
10,700  members:  the  Baptists  have  two  colleges  and  less  than 
40,000  members:  the  Congregationalists  have  two  colleges 
and  less  than  36,000  members:  the  Presbyterians  have  six 
colleges  and  only  47,000  members  in  the  entire  state — one  col- 
lege to  each  7,843  members.  The  United  Brethren  with  10,000 
membership  and  the  Friends  with  6,600  members  each  main- 
tain a  college.  The  question  is  fully  as  clear  when  judged 
by  the  number  of  students  that  these  colleges  have  been  able 
to  attract  and  help  into  a  larger  life.  By  comparison  with 
Minnesota,  where  there  is  only  one  institution,  the  Iowa  plan 
reaches  approximately  five  times  as  many;  and  the  same 
comparison  with  Kansas  where  there  are  threa  Methodist 
colleges  and  Nebraska,  where  there  is  only  one;  and  between 
Ohio,  where  there  are  four,  and  either  Indiana  or  Michigan 
where  there  is  only  one,  brings  the  same  conclusion. 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  45 

The  College  now  needs  the  rebuilding  of  practically  all  of  its 
physical  plant  and  the  enlargement  and  new  installation  of 
equipment.  A  gymnasium  for  men  and  another  lor  women  is 
almost  imperative.  The  gymnasium  in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  was 
buili  when  the  emphasis  was  not  put  on  basketball  that 
has  since  been  accorded  it,  and  some  quarters  that  are  of  regu- 
lation size  must  be  found  for  the  College  teams.  The  young 
women  of  the  institution  especially  need  greater  outlet  for 
their  activities  and  a  woman's  building  perhaps  as  an  annex 
to  Hershey  Hall  is  absolutely  necessary.  A  new  library  1  uild- 
ing,  a  new  science  hall,  and  the  repair  and  rearrange  aent  of 
the  Pioneer  building  and  its  conservation  must  be  considered 
in  any  liberal  program  for  the  future  of  the  institutioi. 

Endowment 

In  addition  to  the  property  described  in  this  sketch,  which 
is  conservatively  valued  at  $200,000,  about  $750,000  of  endow- 
ment has  been  gathered  through  the  years.  This  accumula- 
tion of  endowment  has  been  going  on  during  the  past  half  cen- 
tury. 

This  college  probably  saw  its  darkest  days  during  the 
Civil  War,  when  as  has  been  shown,  the  student  ranks  were 
more  or  less  depopulated  by  volunteers  to  the  army,  and  when 
without  a  dollar  of  endowment  and  $57,000  of  debt,  they  were 
trying  to  carry  on  their  worthy  work.  This  heavy  burden  was 
discharged  after  the  close  of  the  war  and  the  work  of  building 
endowment  begun. 

Oliver  Hoyt,  of  New  York,  gave  $15,000  in  cash.  This  was 
procured  through  the  efforts  of  Rev.  Thos.  E.  Corkhill,  Mr. 
Hoyt,  stating  that  he  placed  the  money  at  Wasleyan  out  of 
admiration  for  Senator  Harlan. 

Ex-Governor  Claflin  gave  several  hundred  acres  of  land  In 
Louisa  County,  which  afterwards  was  sold,  and  the  money 
applied  partly  to  endowment  and  partly  to  the  general  fund. 

Mr.  Timothy  Whiting  left  by  will  $5,000,  which  formed  the 
nucleus  for  the  funds   with   which  to  build  the  Chapel   and 


46  IOWA  WESLETAN  COLLEGE 

Science  Hail.  Rev.  George  X.  Power,  long  a  member  of  the 
Iowa  Conference  and  a  valued  councilor  of  the  board  ')f  trus- 
tees, left  $5,000  by  bequest,  on  the  Annuity  plan,  in  favor  of 
his  adopted  son. 

As  described  elsewhere,  in  this  sketch,  Andrew  Carnegie, 
in  1907,  promised  S25.000  conditional  upon  the  completion  of 
the  total  sum  of  $100,000.  This  was  finished  under  the  ad- 
ministration of  Edwin  A.  Schell,  in  April  1910.  In  1911,  an- 
other campaign  for  2100,000.00  known  as  the  Seventieth  Year 
Endowment,  was  launched.  President  Schell,  with  the  help 
of  his  assistant,  Dr.  H.  X.  Smith,  completed  this  fund  in  July 
1912.  For  a  period  of  practically  three  years  there  were  no 
organized  efforts  to  increase  the  endowment  fund.  It  was 
readily  apparent,  however,  that  a  campaign  for  any  sum  less 
than  $250,000.00  would  not  insure  the  stability  of  the  school. 
After  an  honest  effort  had  been  made  to  combine  with  some 
other  school  or  schools,  the  constituency  of  Iowa  Wesleyan, 
in  March.  1916,  launched  the  Diamond  Jubilee  campaign,  for 
$500,000.00.     This  was  completed  January  1st,  1917. 

We  will  not  have  space  to  print  all  the  names  of  the  peo- 
ple who  have  made  subscriptions  to  the  permanent  endow- 
ment fund  of  the  college.  The  total  amount  of  endowment, 
at  the  time  the  last  Alumni  Record  was  printed,  (1905)  was 
barely  §60,000.00.  Very  many  small  gifts  were  necessary  to 
complete  even  this  meager  amount.  Such  gifts  are  usually 
not  spontaneous.  They  nr^st  always  be  promoted.  To  do 
this,  our  college  has  had  a  long  line  of  financial  agents  from 
the  beginning. 

Sometimes  there  were  a  number  of  years  when  no  agent 
was  employed,  but  for  the  most  part  the  aggregations  of 
funds  for  endowment  or  buildings  from  many  small  contribu- 
tions have  been  procured  by  agents.  Of  these  there  have 
been  nineteen.  We  are  absolutely  without  data  to  show 
the  results  of  the  faithful  services  of  many  of  these.  Rev 
L.  B.  Dennis,  the  centennary  agent  who  began  service  in 
1S66,  achieved  worthy  results  in  endowment,  as  did  Rev. 
I.  A.  Bradrick,  Rev.  George  X.  Power,  Rev.  J.  T.   Simmons, 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  II 

and  Rev.  Thomas  E.  Corkhill.  Rev.  W.  F.  Cowles  also  has 
a  sturdy  record  in  this  line.  We  are  embarrassed  not  to  b« 
able  to  furnish  details  of  the  results  of  the  efforts  of  these 
worthy  men. 

The  last  financial  agent  was  Rev.  Dr.  T.  J    I 
period  of  service  continued  from  1S97  to  1902.    He  was  treas- 
urer as  well  as  agent.     Dr.  Myers  took  charge  following  the 
awful  depression  of  '92  and  "93.  which  had  swept  over  Europe 
and  America  and  had  wrecked  thousands  of  bu  uter- 

prises  and  hundreds  of  fortunes.  Business  was  sulky,  people 
were  over-cau:ious.  contributions  were  limited  and  difficult 
to  secure.  This  heroic  servant  of  God  and  the  Church,  after 
some  months  of  service,  foresaw  the  impossibility  of  ra: 
funds  to  liquidate  the  large  and  growing  debt  extant  at  I 
time,  but  he  rallied  a  few  friends,  and  he  and  they,  being  men 
of  property,  put  behind  the  institution  their  personal  credit 
and  held  the  business  interest  at  Wesleyan  steady  until  the 
country  could  recover  from  its  embarrassed  and  alarmed  con- 
dition. 

Iowa,  being  an  agricultural  country,  had  not  suffered  near- 
ly so  much  as  other  parts  of  the  country,  but  Iowa,  bein 
cautious  coun:ry  as  well  if  ^cultural  one.  had  become 

imbued  with  the  notion  that  she  had  suffered  tremendc  hi 
Hence  the  necessity  of  waiting  until  an  opportune  time.  Mean- 
while the  authorities  of  the  college,  under  the  nnan 
retaryship  of  this   earnest  man  and  the  faithful  service  of 
President  Stafford,  waited  and  prayed  and  hoped  for  br 
days.     History  will  never  be  able  to  record  the  anxious 
and  nights  spent  by  T.  J.  Myers,  nor  the  financial  value  of  his 
service  to  Iowa  Wesleyan  rendered  at  that  time. 

Under    the    presidency    of   Dr.    Blakeslee    a   movement    to 
raise  $150,000   was  begun,   and  some     -S 

pledged.    This  included  thr  >:_         promised  by  Senator  Har- 
lan.   The  outlook  for  final  victory  seemed  hopefu  b  re- 
signation of  Dr.  Blakeslee  unsettled  hopes  and  brought 
couragement,  and  aga  :                 ere  obliged  to  hold  still. 


48  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

After  the  administration  of  President  Hancher  was  well 
begun  and  a  new  finance  movement  was  in  progress,  Dr.  T.  J. 
Myers,  still  continuing  financial  secretary,  which  office  he  ably 
filled  until  September,  1902,  was  untiring  in  a  service  whose 
value  is  beyond  measure.  His  intimate  acquaintance  with 
the  college,  his  gifted  understanding  of  and  friendship  for 
men,  his  splendid  financial  standing  and  his  loyalty  to  the 
administration  as  well  as  to  the  school,  made  him  a  strong 
tower  upon  which  to  lean,  and  the  new  president,  leaning 
heavily,   never   found   him   wanting. 

Trustees  Long  In  Service 

The  longest  trustee  record  is  six  and  forty  years.  This 
service  was  rendered  by  Hon.  James  Harlan,  to  whom  proper 
attention  has  been  paid  in  this  sketch,  in  the  notice  of  his 
presidency. 

Rev.  Dr.  W.  F.  Cowles,  a  trustee  from  1855  to  1899,  and 
for  many  years  an  officer  of  the  board,  is  deserving  of  spec- 
ial and  worthy  mention.  Every  interest  of  his  life  was  closely 
identified  with  W'esleyan,  during  all  those  years. 

Rev.  Thomas  E.  Corkhill  served  as  a  member  of  the  board 
from  1855  to  1897.  He  was  abundant  in  sacrifices  and  gifts, 
according  to  his  means.  Here  his  children  were  educated, 
and  here  his  love  was  centered. 

Hon.  Washington  I.  Babb,  A.  B.,  A.  M.,  L.  L.  D.,  of  the 
class  of  1866,  has  just  rounded  out  his  forty-third  year  of  ac- 
tive service  as  a  member  of  the  board.  For  twenty-three 
years  he  was  treasurer  of  the  college,  and  for  thirty-three 
years  he  was  a  member  of  the  executive  committee. 

The  late  George  Haw,  of  Ottumwa,  was  for  twenty-seven 
years  a  member  of  the  board,  and  its  president  from  1899  un- 
til his  resignation  in  1904. 

Dr.  Thomas  J.  Myers,  of  the  class  of  1865,  is  now  serving 
his  thirtieth  year.    Dr.  Myers  is  treasurer  of  the  college,  a 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  49 

member  of  the  executive  committee,  and  a  man  whose  ad- 
\  lea   is   sought   constantly. 

Others  who  have  filled  the  office  of  trustee,  fifteen  or  more 
years    are: 

E.  L.    Penn,   29  years.  W.  S.  Withrow,  26  years, 

Charles  Snider.  28  years,  E.  W.  Twining,  21  years, 

J.  T.  Hackworth,  2S  years.  Rev.  T.  S.  Pool,  19  years. 

Carl   S.   Williams.  26  years,  Rev.  W.  R.  Cole,  18  years. 

Rev.  D.  C.   Smith,  25  years,  Rev.  W.  G.  Wilson,  13  years. 

Henry   Ambler,    24    years,  Charles  F.  Carver,  18  years. 

Mrs.   M.  S.  Huston,  23  years,  Rev.  J.  A.  Boatman,  17  years. 

Dr.  Wellington  Bird,  22  years.  Rev.  M.  H.  Hare,  17  years. 

Rev.  Dr.  J.  C.  W.  Cox,  21  years.  W.  J.  Steckel,  17  years. 

Rev.  Dr.  J.  W.  McMillan,  21  yrs.  Rev.  I.  O.  Kemble,  15  years. 

Rev.  Dr.  G.  N.  Power,  19  years.  Rev.  I.  A.  Bradrick,  15  years. 

Hon.  Dillon  H.  Payne,  1G  years.  Rev.  E.  L.  Briggs,  15  years. 
Rev.   Dr.   W  B.   Stoddard,   19  years, 

If  anybody  is  not  properly  recognized  or  over-recognized  in 
these  statements,  be  it  known  that  this  chronicler  has  been 
diligent,  far  reaching  in  inquiry,  abundant  in  effort,  and  al- 
most sleepless  in  time  to  find  out  everything — and  be  just  to 
everybody.  Any  failure  of  justice  to  anybody  will  cause  him 
more  grief  than  it  can  possibly  cause  any  other. 

We  have  written  of  the  material  and  educational  develop- 
ment of  WTesleyan  by  administrations  from  Huestis  to  Schell. 
Many  important  facts  have  not  been  stated,  and  should  we 
write  all  we  know  or  have  heard  there  would  still  remain 
important  data  unmentioned.  The  simple  listing  of  the  names 
of  the  trustees  from  the  beginning,  without  other  mention, 
requires  pages  of  this  book.  To  discuss  trustees,  visitors, 
agents,  secretaries,  donors,  patrons,  and  make  worthy  men- 
tion of  all  would  of  itself  require  volumes. 

Faculty  Members  Long  In  Service 

Three  members  of  the  faculty  not  including  Dean  A.  Rom- 
mel of  the  Conservatory  of  Music,  whose  forty  years  of  be- 


50  IOWA  WESLEYAN   COLLEGE 

loved  service  have  been  fittingly  mentioned  in  this  record, 
have  served  sufficiently  long  in  the  college  that  some  special 
mention  of  their  merit  and  their  unexcelled  work  should  not 
be  omitted.  Any  college  faculty  is  fortunate  to  have  among 
its  ranks,  three  such  pre-eminent  teachers  as  Professors 
Booth,  Edwards  and  Eaton. 

Dr.  Lucy  A.  Booth,  Ph.  D.,  came  to  Iowa  Wesleyan  in 
February,  1897,  preceding  Professors  Edwards  and  Eaton 
almost  an  entire  year,  thereby  ranking  as  senior  member  of 
the  College  Faculty,  aside  from  Dr.  Rommel  of  the 
Conservatory  of  Music.  She  was  elected  a  member  of 
Phi  Beta  Kappa  from  her  class,  and  this  will  indicate  her 
scholarship  during  undergraduate  days.  She  studied  for  her 
Doctor's  degree  at  Ohio  State  University,  and  is  accounted 
there,  as  here,  one  of  the  most  engaging  and  thorough  scholars 
in  the  field  of  History  that  the  country  affords.  The  research 
method  which  she  has  always  adhered  to,  has  produced  some 
rather  superior  work  by  various  students  of  her  classes,  and 
enhanced  the  college  reputation  among  scholars  the  state 
over.  She  is  a  member  of  the  Rambler's  Club,  and  has  assist- 
ed several  years  in  arranging  courses  for  that  select  group  of 
women,  that  has  given  the  club  high  literary  standing.  Re- 
cently she  spent  the  summer  vacation  and  some  weeks  of  the 
autumn  in  travel  abroad,  and  came  home  to  enrich  the  ses- 
sions of  the  University  Club  and  the  Rambler's  Club  as  well, 
with  critical  and  recitative  discourses  very  helpful  to  those 
who  have  been  permitted  to  hear  them. 

Professor  John  W.  Edwards,  a  graduate  of  Ohio  Wesleyan, 
came  to  Iowa  Wesleyan  in  1898.  He  had  previously  obtained 
his  Master's  degree  from  Tufts  college.  Professor  Edwards 
has  added  to  his  fine  work  in  Chemistry  and  Physics,  in  both 
of  which  he  is  an  acknowledged  authority,  several  outside 
activities.  He  served  as  Grand  Commander  of  the  Knights 
Templars  for  Iowa;  and  for  two  terms  on  the  City  Council 
of  Mount  Pleasant,  and  also  on  the  School  Board.  His  analyt- 
ical chemistry  work  in  several  liquor  cases,  and  his  popular- 
ity among  the  citizens  has  endeared  him  to  the  entire  com- 
munity as  well  as  to  the  student  body  of  the  college.    He  is 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  51 

a  member  of  the  Iowa  School  of  Science,  and  a  reliable  mem- 
ber of  the  Phi  Delta  Theta  fraternity. 

Professor  Arthur  L.  Eaton,  a  member  of  Beta  Theta  Pi,  is 
rather  reserved  in  his  life,  and  devoted  to  the  church  and  stu- 
dent work.  He  began  in  the  college  in  1898  as  head  of  the 
Latin  department,  but  lately  has  had  the  Greek  also  in  charge. 
With  the  rapid  turn  to  Spanish  on  the  part  of  incoming  stu- 
dents, he  took  up  the  study  of  that  language  and  has  brought 
to  the  instruction  in  the  language  his  superb  pedagogical 
training.  He  has  been  for  several  years  a  student  in  the  sum- 
mer school  of  Chicago  University,  and  is  an  authority  on  all 
matters  of  language.  Upon  the  election  of  Dr.  Lymer  as  Dean, 
in  1909.  he  was  appointed  by  President  Schell  as  Registrar. 
He  is  one  of  the  great  teachers  of  Iowa. 

The  Diamond  Jubilee  Half  Million 

History  has  not  always  been  kind  to  Iowa  Wesleyan.  In 
looking  back  through  the  long  reach  of  the  years,  it  would 
almost  seem  as  if  the  college  had  not  received  its  just  propor- 
tion of  the  material  blessings  that  go  to  make  up  an  insti- 
tution of  higher  learning.  We  can  pick  out  several  decades 
when  there  was  almost  no  financial  gain.  This  is  not,  how- 
ever difficult  of  explanation  for  those  who  have  followed  the 
story  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  from  the  beginning.  For  years  the 
future  of  the  institution  has  been  clouded  by  indebtedness  and 
inadequate  financial  resources.  Only  the  loyalty  and  abiding 
faith  and  the  promise  of  a  few  friends  imbued  with  the  vision 
of  a  great  constituency  in  a  great  territory  the  "Garden  Spot 
of  Iowa",  kept  the  institution  alive.  The  months  between  Sep- 
tember 1916  and  January  1,  1917  will  long  be  remembered. 
They  were  the  critical  days.  History  gave  us  more  then  than 
in  all  the  seventy  three  years  preceding.  For  two  months, 
Iowa  Wesleyan  as  a  Mount  Pleasant  institution,  in  the  home 
of  its  traditions  and  its  history,  seemed  likely  to  become  a 
thing  of  the  past.  Merger  with  some  other  school,  or  an  up- 
rooting to  another  locality  appeared  to  be  the  only  solution  to 
the  difficulty.  Finally  after  all  of  these  opportunities  had  been 
sifted  out,  driven  on  by  the  spur  of  necessity,  the  college  lift- 


52  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

ed  its  horizon,  made  its  appeal  to  the  people,  and  the  half 
million  of  which  we  write,  insuring  perpetuity  for  years  to 
come,  was  the  glorious  response. 

It  seems  peculiarly  fitting  that  the  history  of  this  great 
endeavor,  with  results  far  in  excess  of  the  dreams  of  the  most 
optimistic  supporters  of  the  institution  a  few  brief  months 
ago,  should  be  permanently  set  down  in  more  or  less  detail. 

When  the  Carnegie  and  70th  Year  Funds  aggregating 
$200,000  were  raised,  the  Board  well  realized  that  this  sum 
was  altogether  inadequate  for  a  modern  college.  But  a  com- 
paign  directly  following  these  two  endeavors  for  still  larger 
sums  seemed  scarcely  feasible.  The  University  Senate  of  the 
Methodist  Church  decreed  that  a  college  to  be  ranked  as 
"Standard"  must  have  $200,000  of  productive  endowment  over 
and  above  all  debts  and  sums  upon  annuity.  January  1,  1916, 
was  set  as  the  date  for  all  schools  to  comply  with  this  require- 
ment or  be  demoted.  Under  this  pressure,  for  Iowa  Wesleyan 
could  not  comply  with  the  requirements,  the  Trustees  and 
friends  of  the  institution  began  to  cast  around  for  some  way 
out  of  the  difficulty.  At  the  annual  Conference  held  in  Cen- 
terville  in  September,  1915,  a  proposition  came  from  Parsons 
College  of  Fairfield,  Iowa,  for  the  union  of  Parsons,  Simpson 
and  Iowa  Wesleyan  under  the  name  "Iowa  Union  College". 
The  Union  College  to  be  located  at  either  Mount  Pleasant, 
Fairfield  or  Indianola  as  deemed  most  advisable.  Control  was 
to  be  vested  in  a  Board  of  Trustees  elected  by  the  two  Meth- 
odist Conferences,  the  Iowa  Synod  of  the  Presbyterian  church 
and  the  Trustees  of  the  colleges. 

The  Board  was  to  be  self  perpetuating  as  regards  60  per 
cent  of  its  membership — Twenty-five  per  cent  of  this  initial 
membership  to  come  from  each  Simpson  and  Wesleyan  and  50 
per  cent  from  Parsons.  The  remaining  40  per  cent  to  be  pro- 
portioned to  the  two  Methodist  Conferences  and  the  Iowa 
Synod. 

A  committee  of  five  was  appointed  by  the  Iowa  Conference 
consisting  of  Edwin  A.  Schell,  U.  S.  Smith,  C.  L.  Tennant, 
Hugh  A.  Cole,  and  Horace  M.  Havner.     This  committee  was 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  53 

11  authority  to  act  with  like  committees  from  Simpson  and 
tais.  and  in  the  advent  of  the  Des  Moines  Conference 
not  appointing  a  committee,  with  the  one  from  Parsons  for 
a  union  of  the  two  schools.  Simpson  College  and  the  Des 
Moines  Conference  never  accepted  the  proposal  and  no  com- 
mittee was  appointed. 

The  two  committees  met  but  it  was  soon  apparent  that  no 
equitable  basis  of  union  could  be  agreed  upon.  It  was  how- 
ever determined  that  there  was  a  "distinct  field  in  this  sec- 
tion of  Iowa  for  one  College  only".  A  special  meeting  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  was  called  for  October  27th  to  consider  the 
report  of  the  Committee  of  Five. 

At  this  time  rumors  of  a  transfer  of  the  College  began  to 
make  themselves  heard.  A  special  meeting  of  the  Board  was 
called  for  November  11,  1915.  At  this  time  a  Committee  from 
the  Ottumwa  Commercial  Club  invited  the  Trustees  to  trans- 
fer the  college  to  Ottumwa.  The  following  resolutions  were 
passed: 

"That  we  urge  the  commission  to  give  due  consideration 
to  any  definite  proposals  that  may  be  made  and  report  the 
same  to  the  Board. 

"That  we  appoint  the  Commission  as  raised  by  the  Iowa 
Conference  (Edwin  A.  Schell,  Hugh  A.  Cole,  H.  M.  Havner, 
U.  S.  Smith,  C.  L.  Tennant)  as  our  committee. 

The  proposal  from  Ottumwa  never  reached  definite  terms 
financially.  The  committee  met  several  times  with  the  Ot- 
tumwa Commercial  Club.  An  effort  was  also  made  to  induce 
Parsons  College  to  consider  a  joint  union  with  Wesleyan  at 
Ottumwa.  Finally  in  December  the  Committee  of  Five,  deem- 
ing that  it  was  useless  to  further  prolong  negotiations  writh 
either  Parsons  or  Ottumwa  made  a  proposal  to  the  Mount 
Pleasant  Commercial  Club  that  if  Henry  county  would  raise 
$100,000  by  January  27,  that  the  school  would  be  continued 
permanently  here,  and  that  within  a  period  of  three  years  the 
Iowa  Conference  would  add  an  additional  $150,000.  The  Com- 
mercial Club  accepted  the  proposal  of  the  Committee.     The 


54  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

date  for  the  launching  of  the  campaign  was  set  for  January  1, 
1916.  After  all  efforts  to  secure  expert  outside  assistance  had 
failed,  a  local  committee  was  appointed  of  which  Adam  Weir 
was  chairman. 

The  Henry  County  campaign  will  long  be  remembered. 
When  it  was  inaugurated  there  were  not  a  half  dozen  men 
who  dreamed  that  it  could  be  successful.  Big  gifts  that  were 
hoped  for  did  not  materialize.  The  people  felt  that  the  task 
was  too  great.  But  the  Committee  threw  themselves  into  the 
task  with  a  dauntless  courage.  Progress  was  slow.  Two 
days  before  the  closing  hour,  with  every  prospect  canvassed, 
there  was  a  shortage  of  thirty  thousand  dollars.  The  women 
of  the  Iowa  Wesleyan  Guild,  then  organized  and  for  two  days 
of  bitter  weather  canvassed  every  home  in  the  city.  Inspired 
and  enthused  by  their  devotion  the  campaign  took  new  life 
and  one  hour  before  the  closing  time  on  the  night  of  January 
28,  1916,  the  goal  was  reached,  with  a  considerable  margin 
to  the  good. 

This  exhibition  of  loyalty  and  sacrificial  -giving  fired  the 
Iowa  Conference  and  friends  of  the  school  with  enthusiasm. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  met  February  16,  and  ratified  the 
action  of  the  Committee  of  Five,  and  resolved  to  ask  the  Iowa 
Conference  for  $300,000  instead  of  $150,000  making  a  total  of 
$400,000.  On  February  17,  the  Iowa  Conference  met  in  spe- 
cial session  at  Ottumwa,  and  amidst  the  greatest  enthusiasm 
ratified  the  Conference  program  for  $300,000.  In  the  after- 
noon the  Henry  County  delegation  proposed  to  raise  $50,000 
additional  if  the  Conference  would  raise  $350,000,  making  a 
grand  total  of  $500,000.    This  motion  was  passed  unanimously. 

"Kick-Off  Sunday"  or  "Launching  Day"  was  set  for  March 
12th.  Bishop  Bristol  was  selected  as  the  Campaign  Chairman, 
T.  J.  Myers,  Treasurer,  Thomas  Osborn,  Secretary,  E.  E. 
Lymer,  Auditor,  and  Herbert  N.  Jeffey,  Publicity  Manager. 
Assisted  by  a  great  concourse  of  Bishops,  College  presidents, 
educators,  ministers  and  laymen,  the  campaign  was  presented 
to  the  congregations  of  the  Iowa  Conference  on  Sunday, 
March  12th. 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  55 

The  Central  office  was  maintained  at  Mount  Pleasant  and 
the  Conference  organized  around  the  District  Superintendents. 
I'nder  the  Superintendents  were  the  group  chairmen  and  the 
final  units  were  the  separate  pastoral  charges.  Literally 
thousands  of  pieces  of  mail  matter  were  sent  out  from  the 
central  office  educating  and  informing  the  people  of  the  pur- 
pose and  the  progress  of  the  campaign. 

The  original  closing  date  was  set  for  April  25th.  But  as 
Gleaning  Sunday  fell  on  Easter  the  date  was  moved  up  one 
week.  The  campaign  came  up  to  Gleaning  Sunday  approxi- 
mately $160,000  short  of  the  total  amount.  However  the  cam- 
paign cammittee  was  confident  that  this  sum  would  be  forth- 
coming, when  the  matter  was  presented  in  all  the  churches 
of  the  Conference,  on  "Gleaning  Sunday." 

But  "Gleaning  Sunday"  was  a  failure  owing  to  a  torrential 
rain,  general  over  the  entire  Conference  which  ceased  not 
throughout  the  day.  In  many  charges  no  services  were  held 
at  ali.  Owing  to  the  proximity  of  General  Conference  the  ac- 
tive campaign  work  was  closed  down  during  the  month  of 
May.  The  Publicity  office  was  kept  open  and  the  organization 
continued  intact.  The  campaign  was  re-opened  on  June  10, 
and  closed  June  25.  At  the  closing  hour  there  was  a  shortage 
of  $50,000  which  was  underwritten  by  the  Mount  Pleasant 
Commercial  Club.  This  sum  was  later  raised  by  means  of  a 
"still  hunt  campaign"  under  the  leadership  of  President  Schell. 

It  wrould  be  impossible  in  this  sketch  which  has  already 
grown  too  long  to  give  due  credit  to  all  the  loyal  friends  who 
gave  of  their  time  and  their  counsel  and  their  substance  in 
this  titanic  endeavor.  The  inestimable  services  of  Dr.  John 
W.  Hancher,  representing  the  Board  of  Education,  has  been 
referred  to  elsewhere.  Only  those  who  were  with  him  at  the 
desks  from  early  morning  until  long  after  midnight,  for  thirty 
consecutive  nights  know  how  he  gave  of  his  time,  strength 
and  energy. 

The  Campaign  could  not  have  been  successful  without 
President  Schell.  The  cumulative  results  of  his  eight  years 
of  service  told  in  this  supreme  crisis.    His  wrork  was  brilliant. 


56  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

With  a  nervous  energy  that  was  tireless  he  went  the  length 
and  breadth  of  the  Conference  looking  for  the  larger  sub- 
scriptions. For  days  at  a  time  he  would  not  be  near  the  office, 
but  a  string  of  telegrams  carrying  cheer  in  large  figures  ap- 
praised the  central  desk  of  his  whereabouts.  Practically  un- 
aided President  Schell  turned  in  subscriptions  aggregating 
roundly  $128,000.  This  does  not  include  the  part  that  he  play- 
ed in  other  gifts. 

The  devotion  of  such  long  tried  friends  of  the  college  as 
Hugh  A.  Cole,  Carl  S.  Williams,  Chris  Haw,  Gardner  Cowles, 
T.  J.  Myers,  P.  M.  Musser,  W.  J.  Steckel,  G.  T.  Pulliam,  A. 
Weir,  H.  C.  Weir,  R.  W.  Moore,  the  District  Superintendents, 
the  pastors,  the  laymen,  the  alumni,  and  a  thousand  others, 
will  never  be  forgotten. 

The  biggest  thing  about  the  Jubilee  Campaign  was  not  the 
money  raised,  and  we  do  not  underestimate  that  feature,  but 
bigger  than  mere  money,  bigger  than  a  great  endowment,  big- 
ger than  an  adequate  income,  is  friendship.  All  of  these 
things  depend  upon  that,  and  the  Diamond  Jubilee  closed  with 
friends  added  by  the  thousands.  The  work  is  not  completed. 
There  will  be  other  campaigns;  new  buildings  and  equipment 
are  urgently  needed,  but  all  this  will  come  now.  Our  perpe- 
tuity and  our  usefulness  are  guaranteed. 

Ladies'  College  Organ  Association 

This  association  was  organized  October,  1892  with  the 
following  officers: 

President,  Mrs.  C.  L.  Stafford. 
Recording  Secretary,  Mrs.  Lydia  Siberts. 
Corresponding  Secretary,  Mrs.  Alice  Taylor. 
Treasurer,  Mrs.  H.  T.  Bird. 

These  ladies  were  very  energetic  and  persevering  for 
many  years  and  by  entertainments,  dues  and  donations  from 
time  to  time,  raised  more  than  two  thousand  dollars.  Then 
Mr.  J.  D.  Smith  left  a  legacy  of  one  thousand  dollars  to  the 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  57 

association.  With  a  number  of  smaller  donations  they  In- 
creased their  fund  until  in  the  spring  of  1915  the  ladies  were 
enabled  to  pay  the  entire  cost  of  installation  and  rebuilding 
of  one  of  the  best  pipe  organs  installed  in  any  public  building 
in  the  state  of  Iowa. 

It  was  the  object  of  the  Association  from  its  inception  to 
place  in  the  Chapel  Auditorium  an  organ  which  as  to  both  size 
and  quality  would  be  in  keeping  with  the  dignity  of  the  build- 
ing which  it  was  to  grace,  and  to  their  steadfastness  of  pur- 
pose through  all  the  years  which  they  labored  and  struggled 
to  collect  a  fund  adequate  for  the  object  which  they  had  un- 
dertaken, the  college  owes  an  eternal  debt  of  gratitude. 

Many  times  were  they  prevailed  upon,,  almost  under 
pressure,  to  allow  their  accumulation  to  be  used  to  install 
an  organ,  inferior  both  as  to  size  and  quality,  to  the  ideal 
which  they  had  set  for  their  attainment.  Dr.  Rommel's  opin- 
ion however  was,  that  no  organ  at  all,  was  better  than  one 
which  would  in  any  way  detract  from  the  splendid  Chapel 
Auditorium  in  which  it  was  to  be  placed.  Wiser  council 
always  prevailed  and  the  ladies  kept  their  money  out  on  in- 
terest and  bided  their  time.  Prospects  for  an  organ  in  this 
generation  indeed  looked  dark,  until  like  a  pleasant  dream 
came  the  announcement  of  the  splendid  gift  from  the  St. 
James  Church.  It  is  doubtful  if  this  gift  could  have  been 
realized  upon,  had  it  not  been  for  the  foresight  of  and  ready 
money  in  the  hands  of  the  ladies;  for  to  remove,  box,  crate 
and  ship  the  parts  of  this  mammoth  instrument,  and  then  re- 
assemble it  in  the  chapel  upon  its  arrival,  rebuilding  and  re- 
arranging, some  parts  also  being  necessary,  would  require 
between  $2,500.00  and  $3,000.00.  The  ladies  upon  hearing  of 
the  proposition  immediately  realized  that  the  time  for  which 
they  had  looked  forward  to  and  longed  for  was  now  at  hand. 
Their  ready  co-operation  and  financial  assistance  thus  en- 
abled the  college  to  take  advantage  of  an  opportunity  to  secure 
an  organ  which  for  sweetness  of  tone,  size,  adaptability  and 
registration  is  equalled  by  few,  if  any  organ  used  for  similar 
purpose  in  the  State  of  Iowa. 


ine  dedicatory  recital  given  m  April  1915  at  the  College 
chapel  upon  the  completion  of  the  organ  drew  a  large  and  ap- 
preciative audience.  All  honor  to  the  loyal  public  spirited 
women  who  so  patiently  wrought  and  reached  their  goal,  of 
whom  were  Miss  Mary  I.  Snyder,  Mrs.  Alice  L.  Taylor,  Mrs. 
Belle  R.  Leech,  Mrs.  Amelia  Penn,  Mrs.  Florence  McKibbin, 
Mrs.  Walter  E.  Keeler,  Mrs.  C.  S.  Rogers,  Miss  Ida  Van  Hon 
Mrs.  Abbie  E.  Crane  and  many  others  whose  names  are  not 
on  record. 

The  association  rests  from  its  labors,  but  its  voice  of 
melody  will  long  be  heard,  inspiring  responsive  chords  of 
harmony  in  the  soul  of  the  present  student  body  as  well  as 
in  that  of  generations  yet  unborn. 

The  Woman's  Guild  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  College 

In  June  1899,  Mrs.  Lavanda  Gassner  Murphy  presented 
a  plan  for  enlisting  the  women  of  the  Iowa  Conference  in 
work  for  the  College,  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  also  to  the 
Executive  Committee,  in  which  they  heartily  concurred.  Pur- 
suant to  the  plan,  October  2,  1899  the  Woman's  Guild  of  the 
Iowa  Wesleyan  College  was  organized  in  Elizabeth  Hershey 
Hall,  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa. 

The  following  were  the  charter  members: 

Mrs.  Charles  C.  McCabe,  (wife  of  Bishop  McCabe). 
Mrs.  Lavanda  Gassner  Murphy. 
Mrs.  Julia  Baldwin  McKibbin. 
Mrs.  Lillian  Kendig  Rogers. 
Miss  Ella  Penn. 

The  officers  elected  for  1899-1900  were: 

President,  Mrs.  Lavanda  Gassner  Murphy,  West  Liberty, 
Iowa, 

First  Vice  President,  Mrs.  M.  B.  Huston,  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa 
Second  Vice  President,  Mrs.  J.  W.  Stark,  Keokuk,  Iowa. 
Third  Vice  President,  Mrs.  J.  E.  Newsom,  Wellman,  Iowa. 
Fourth  Vice  President,  Mrs.  W.  G.  Wilson,  Grinnell,  Iowa. 
Fifth  Vice  President,  Mrs.  Chris  Haw,  Ottumwa,  Iowa. 


Corresponding  and  Field  Secretary,  Mrs.  Julia  B.  McKib- 
bin,  Keosauqua,  Iowa. 

Recording  Secretary,  Mrs.  C.  S.  Rogers,  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa. 
Treasurer,  Mrs.  Walter  E.  Keeler,  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa. 

Resident  Board  of  Managers: 

Mrs.  F.  D.  Blakeslee  Miss  Ella  Penn 

X.  H.  Ambler  Miss  Mary  I.  Snyder 

Mrs.  T.  J.  Myers  Professor  Lucy  Booth 

Miss  Martha  McClure. 

The  first  work  of  the  Guild  was  to  assist  in  the  debt 
raising  campaign  which  was  undertaken  during  President 
J.  W*  Handler's  administration  and  to  help  in  the  enlarge- 
ment of  the  College  endowment.  Over  five  thousand  dollars 
was  raised  and  paid  to  the  treasurer  of  the  College. 

In  the  last  campaign  for  endowment  the  ladies  of  the 
Guild  gave  more  than  three  thousand  dollars  in  pledges  for 
the  fund  and  in  addition  to  this,  valuable  service  of  time 
and  encouragement  which  tided  the  Mt.  Pleasant  Campaign 
through  a  crisis  at  the  darkest  hour  of  the  undertaking,  and 
thus  assisted  nobly  in  bringing  the  enterprise  through  to 
an  ultimate  success.  Further  details  concerning  the  helpful- 
ness of  the  Guild  in  this  movement  are  noted  in  the  narrative 
of  the  "Diamond  Jubilee  Endowment  Effort." 

The  personnel  of  the  officers  remained  nearly  the  same 
from  1900  to  1915.  Mrs.  Murphy  has  served  as  president 
all  these  years. 

After  paying  all  obligations,  in  June  1915,  "The  Guild"  was 
re-organized  on  a  broader  basis,  when  every  woman  in  the 
City,  County  and  Iowa  Conference  was  cordially  invited  to 
become  members.  One  hundred  and  fifty  women  gave  their 
names  and  much  enthusiasm  was  aroused  throughout  the 
Conference,  during  the  campaign  for  endowment.  The  work 
assumed  for  the  year  1915-16  was  to  assist  in  keeping  the  li- 
brary up  to  the  required  standard,  which  was  again  taken  as 
its  work  for  1916-17. 


The  officers  for  1916-17  are: 

President,  Mrs.  Lavanda  Gassner  Murphy. 
First  Vice  President,  Mrs.  Adam  Weir. 
Second  Vice  President,  Mrs.  R.  S.  Galer. 
Third  Vice  President,  Mrs.  Will  Dyall. 
Fourth  Vice  President,  Miss  Mary  Guss. 
Fifth  Vice  President,  Mrs.  Dennis  Morony. 
Sixth  Vice  President,  Miss  Ida  Van  Hon. 
Seventh  Vice  President,  Mrs.  Charles  Swanson. 
Eighth  Vice  President,  Mrs.  Geneva  Harshbarger. 
Recording  Secretary,  Mrs.  Lulu  Ingersoll. 
Treasurer,  Miss  Barbara  R.  Fouche. 

Resident  Board  of  Managers: 

Mrs.  E.  A.  Schell  Mrs.  C.  S.  Rogers 

Mrs.  E.  E.  Lymer  Miss  Ella  Penn 

Mrs.  M.  B.  Huston  Miss  Mary  I.  Snyder 

Miss  Nellie  Wallbank 

Standing  Committees: 

Finance — Miss  Barbara  R.  Fouche,  Miss  Nellie  Wallbank, 
Mrs.  H.  Wade  Gillis,  Mrs.  W.  F.  Kopp  and  Mrs.  V.  D.  Morris. 

Membership — Mrs.  Ben  Hur  Wilson,  Mrs.  J.  J.  Pitcher,  Mrs. 
Eliza  Palmer,  Mrs.  H.  G.  Leist  and  Mrs.  Warren  Rogers. 

Library — Dr.  Lucy  Booth,  Mrs.  W.  D.  Worthington,  Mrs. 
M.  B.  Huston,  Mrs.  F.  B.  Crane,  and  Mrs.  John  W.  Palm. 

Social — Mrs.  W.  H.  Evans,  Mrs.  Adam  Weir,  Mrs.  C.  F.  Ap- 
plegate,  Mrs.  George  P.  McKibbin  and  Mrs.  Jas.  T.  Whiting. 

Surely  with  the  co-operation  of  the  intelligent,  loyal  women 
of  the  City,  County  and  Iowa  Conference,  the  Woman's  Guild 
of  the  College  will  have  a    magnificent  future. 


The  Alumnal  Association 

I  la  probable  that  the  early  history  of  the  Alumnal  Assoc- 
iation is  lost  for  ever.  The  records  in  the  hands  of  the  officers 
go  back  but  a  few  years,  the  books  having  been  lost,  or  in  the 
hands  of  some  one  unknown.  The  annual  catalogue,  however, 
helps  out  somewhat,  giving  the  names  of  the  officers  of  the 
association  as  far  back  as  1897.  or  twenty  years  ago,  but  back 
of  that  there  are  no  records  whatever,  as  to  the  organization. 
It  is  evident,  however,  that  there  was  such  an  organization, 
for  as  far  back  as  1878  reference  is  made  in  the  yearly  cata- 
logue of  the  "annual  reception  and  banquet  of  the  alumni," 
and  some  of  the  older  resident  members  state  that  in  those 
days  there  was  annually  elected  a  staff  of  officers,  and  that 
the  annual  banquet  was  not  only  a  flow  of  soul,  but  a  genuine 
feast  of  reason.  However,  it  has  been  impossible  to  secure 
even  a  tentative  list  of  officers  prior  to  1878  and  it  is  doubt- 
ful if  one  can  be  secured  at  this  time. 

For  many  years  the  organization  of  the  alumni  was  a 
perfunctory  matter  to  be  gone  through  with  at  the  annual 
meeting,  when  a  handful  of  them  would  gather,  to  elect  offi- 
cers, collect  enough  dues  to  pay  the  accumulated  bills,  and  let 
it  go  at  that.  Since,  however,  the  association  has  been  called 
upon  to  take  an  active  part  in  the  management  of  the  school. 
by  reason  of  electing  every  year  two  members  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees,  there  has  been  much  more  interest  in  the  organi- 
zation. Then  again,  the  records  have  been  put  in  permanent 
condition.  System  has  been  introduced,  card  systems  estab- 
lished and  the  collection  of  dues  has  resulted  in  a  treasury 
with  a  balance  continually  on  the  right  side  and  funds  at 
hand  to  take  care  of  the  nominal  expenses  of  the  work  of 
the  association.  The  alumni  association  is  now  undertaking 
to  keep  in  constant  touch  with  every  member  of  the  alumni  of 
the  school  from  the  time  he  graduates  until  his  activities  are 
over,  to  keep  the  interest  of  the  alumni  constantly  keen,  to 
keep  the  "Old  Grad"  at  all  times  informed  of  his  "Alma 
Mater,"  and  keep  alive  the  affection  of  student  for  the  old 
college  halls. 


62  IOWA  WESLEYAN   COLLEGE 

It  is  now  recognized  and  was  emphasized  during  the  recent 
successful  campaign  for  a  half  million  dollars  that  a  great  mis- 
take had  been  made  in  permitting  the  old  students  to  drift 
away  from  the  college,  and  to  arouse  the  old  affection  for  the 
school,  to  reawaken  the  old  memories  of  hall  and  campus  is 
now  the  definite  purpose  and  work  of  the  association.  Dur- 
ing the  great  campaign  it  was  found  that  the  whereabouts  of 
many  of  the  alumni  was  not  known  and,  in  too  many  cases 
it  was  found  that  the  former  students  had  been  away  so  long 
and  had  heard  from  the  old  school  so  seldom  that  vital  inter- 
est had  well  nigh  died  out,  and  appeals  for  financial  assist- 
ance fell  on  ears  that  would  not  hear.

The  Museum 

The  early  history  of  the  museum  is  uncertain  in  many  par- 
ticulars. It  is  plain,  however,  that  the  original  nucleus,  what- 
ever it  may  have  been,  around  which  the  now  splendid  col- 
lection has  been  built,  was  quite  small. 

Mrs.  M.  J.  Kelly  who  was  the  professor  of  Natural  Science 
from  1855  to  1861,  served  also  as  curator  of  the  museum. 
Due  to  her  skill  in  taxidermy,  a  number  of  mammals,  and 
birds  were  mounted  and  made  a  part  of  the  collection. 
Whether  or  not  this  marks  the  beginning  of  the  museum,  the 
collection  first  attained  such  dimensions  as  to  interest  the 
students,  under  the  care  of  this  talented  woman. 

It  was  housed  in  those  days  in  the  Main  building  in  the 
small  room  at  the  head  of  the  stairs  on  the  second  floor,  being 
the  room  now  used  as  the  Croaker  office.  At  another  time 
it  was  kept  on  the  first  floor  in  the  northeast  room  now  oc- 
cupied by  the  Art  Department  . 

As  the  museum  grew  it  came  to  require  more  space  than 
could  then  be  afforded  it  on  the  campus.  It  was  according- 
ly placed  down  town  and  occupied  up  stairs  rooms  in  one  of 
the  business  buildings  on  the  north  side  of  the  square  and 
at  another  time  on  the  east  side  of  the  square. 

When  the  present  Chapel  building  was  completed,  the  old 
chapel  room,  comprising  the  entire  east  end  of  the  third  floor 
of  the  Main  building,  became  available  for  the  museum.       In 


68  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

recent  years  this  room  has  been  devoted  entirely  to'  the 
natural  history  division  and  the  small  room  adjoining  at  the 
west  has  been  fitted  up  to  display  the  relics  and  Ethnological 
specimens.  It  is  there  that  the  visitor  today  goes  to  view  the 
museum. 

After  the  Civil  war  a  number  of  war  relics  were  contributed 
from  various  sources,  while  through  the  influence  of  Senator 
Harlan,  several  pieces  of  interest  and  value  came  from  the 
government.  Space  will  not  permit  the  mentioning  of  all 
who  have  added  their  part  to  the  collection  for  many  of  the 
friends  of  the  school  have  given  articles  of  interest.  How- 
ever, two  contributors  should  have  especial  mention:  One  is 
Dr.  J.  M.  Schaffer  of  Keokuk,  who  has  presented  many  valu- 
able mounted  specimens  of  birds  and  mammals.  In  fact  a 
very  large  part  of  the  entire  museum  is  the  contribution  of 
that  globe  trotter  and  ardent  naturalist.  The  other  is  Mr. 
Charles  Buettner?  of  Burlington.  In  his  travels  Mr.  Buettner 
visited  almost  every  accessible  corner  of  the  globe.  With  eyes 
wide  open  to  everything  of  interest,  he  got  away  from  the 
travel-worn  paths  and  saw  things  not  found  by  the  tourist  of 
usual  type.  Some  little  idea  of  the  scope  of  his  work  may  be 
had  in  the  fact  that  it  took  four  railroad  cars  to  hold  his 
contributions  to  the  museum.  But  his  collection  ranks  higher 
in  value  than  in  bulk.  The  specimens  have  been  well  col- 
lected and  uniquely  mounted.  Many  of  these  represent  rare 
forms,  while  several  species  now  extinct  are  thus  preserved 
to  future  generations. 

The  size,  scope  and  educational  value  of  Wesleyan's  mus- 
eum is  appreciated  by  only  a  few.  In  the  relic  room  are 
found  treasures  relating  to  the  history  of  our  own  and  other 
countries  and  utensils,  implements  of  warfare,  and  other 
articles  of  human  interest  that  offer  opportunity  for  hours  of 
thoughtful  study.  In  the  natural  science  collection  the  fields 
of  Mineralogy,  Geology,  Paleontology  and  Zoology  are  well 
represented.  Aside  from  the  splendid  herbarium  containing 
specimens  of  over  eight  hundred  species  of  the  flowering 
plants  of  Henry  county,  collected  and  presented  to  the  Col- 
lege by  Mr.  Henry  Mills,  '70,  the  botanical  division  is  poorly 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  69 

represented  and  should  receive  more  attention.  On  the  other 
hand  the  Zoological  division  exceeds  all  the  others  combined 
in  numbers  of  specimens.  Most  of  the  classes  of  animals  are 
represented,  but  the  birds  are  best  represented  of  all.  This 
collection  of  birds  is  probably  the  most  complete  one  in  the 
middle  west. 

The  museum  is  opened  without  charge  to  all  visitors  and 
every  year  many  avail  themselves  of  the  opportunity  to  look 
it  over.  It  is  of  especial  value  to  the  natural  science  classes 
of  the  college  and  to  the  public  schools  who  visit  it  from  time 
to  time. 

Alumni  and  friends  of  the  college  can  aid  materially  in 
building  a  still  greater  museum  by  contributing  relics  and 
natural  history  specimens  that  they  may  be  able  to  locate. 
Mounted  specimens  or  the  properly  preserved  skins  of  birds, 
reptiles  and  mammals,  specimens  of  insects,  fossil  remains, 
botanical  specimens,  Indian  relics,  old  or  foreign  articles  of 
interest,  are  all  especially  desirable. 

It  is  hoped  that  with  the  coming  of  the  new  Library  and 
Science  buildings  the  museum  may  be  displayed  in  the  cor- 
ridors where  it  will  be  more  accessible  to  the  public  and  of 
greater  educational  value  to  the  students. 

This  is  especially  to  be  desired  if  the  new  building  is  fire 
proof,  for,  as  it  is  now  situated,  the  museum  which  is  said  by 
some,  who  are  competent  to  judge,  to  be  of  greater  value  than 
the  entire  physical  plant  of  the  college,  (or  at  least  could  not 
be  replaced  for  this  amount),  is  subject  to  the  hazard  of  fire, 
being  located  in  an  almost  inaccessible  part  of  the  Main 
building.  Should  this  building  ever  be  destroyed,  the  Museum 
would  suffer  greatly,  if  indeed,  it  were  not  a  total  loss. 

College  Student  Organizations 

Student  activities  of  an  organized  character  have  been 
present  in  and  carried  on  by  the  student  body  of  Iowa  Wes- 
leyan  almost  from  the  inception  of  the  school. 


70  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

As  the  grim  Reaper  reaches  out  and  brings  to  a  close,  one 
by  one  with  ever  increasing  rapidity,  the  lives  of  those  who 
have  been  with  us  since  the  beginning,  it  is  important,  at  this 
time,  that  many  things,  which  may  to  some  seem  to  be  of  a 
purely  trivial  nature,  be  set  down  with  whatever  accuracies 
they  may  be  gathered,  in  order  that  future  generations  may 
know  the  truth,  and  that  history  be  kept  straight  upon  these 
items,  which  we  believe  will  come  to  be  looked  upon  with 
growing  interest  as  the  years  go  by. 

When  this  book  is  again  published,  the  Alumni  of  another 
decade  will  be  at  the  helm,  and  many  of  our  older  Graduates 
will  have  passed  into  the  Great  Beyond.  With  them  will  die 
many  valuable  and  irrecoverable  facts  concerning  the  early 
history  of  the  school,  and  particularly  those  details  concern- 
ing which  the  greater  part  of  this  sketch  is  made  up. 

The  search  necessary  for  the  production  of  this  portion  of 
the  history  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  College  has  brought  to  light 
many  important  and  striking  facts.  None,  however,  impress- 
es the  writer  more  than  the  appalling  vagueness  of  the  idea 
with  which  the  average  student  or  alumnus  is  possessed  with 
reference  to  the  beginning  of  those  activities  and  traditions 
in  which  he,  at  the  time,  may  be  vitally  interested.  Many 
seem  to  take  it  for  granted  that  these  activities  simply  exist, 
and  few  there  be,  who  even  so  much  as  give  a  thought  as  to 
why  they  exist,  or  what  combination  of  circumstances  created 
a  demand  that  caused  these  various  organizations  to  spring 
forth.  Persistency  of  purpose  has  kept  them  alive  throughout 
all  of  the  years  of  their  existence,  and  thus  they  played  an 
important  part  in  the  development  and  rounding  out  of  the 
lives  of  those  who  have  enjoyed  their  privileges  and  advan- 
tages. 

In  the  history  of  these  organizations,  Wesleyan  has  that 
which  money  cannot  buy,  and  influence  cannot  obtain.  Noble 
tradition,  which  lives  in  the  lives  of  the  Alumni  from  the 
time  of  their  graduation,  until  they  reach  their  grave,  set- 
ting for  them  a  standard  and  an  ideal  by  which  they  may 
guide    and   true   their   existence,   is    an   asset   which   wealth

cannot  produce,  but  which  must  be  developed  by  slow  and 
tedious  evolution,  throughout  the  period  of  many,  many 
years  as  they  come  and  go. 

In  this  tradition,  Wesleyan  is  peculiarly  rich.  Of  glorious 
history,  Wesleyan  has  an  abundant  supply,  and  few  there  be 
who  search  its  sacred  page  who  can  not  detect  the  Hand  of 
the  Infinite  working  in  and  out,  sometimes  seemingly  cruel, 
sometimes  chaotic,  but  nevertheless  weaving  a  fabric,  which 
is  inexpressibly  wonderful  and  which  will  grow  in  beauty  to 
the  retrospective  view  of  generations  of  students  yet  to 
come. 

It  is  a  rare  moment  in  the  writer's  life  when  he  comes 
in  contact  with  one  of  those  dear,  old  Alumni  who  has  treas- 
ured many  valuable  and  precious  facts  in  his  heart,  and  who 
can  give  one  some  "real"  information  concerning  the  origin  of 
those  activities  which  most  of  us  accept  as  a  matter  of  fact, 
never  raising  the  question  from  whence  they  come,  why, 
when,  and  to  what  purpose  they  exist. 

Student  activities  have  always  been  divided  into  four 
groups,  intellectual,  spiritual,  physical  and  social.  Each  in 
its  sphere  has  played  an  important  part  in  the  lives  of  many 
students,  for  few  there  are  who  have  studied  in  Wesleyan's 
classic  halls,  but  whose  lives  have  been  influenced  by  one 
or  more  of  these  various  interests,  and  many  there  are  who 
have  been  active  in  all  of  them. 

Under  the  intellectual  group,  comes  the  Literary  Societies, 
Forensic  League,  and  Honorary  Fraternities.  The  Musical 
activities  of  the  student  body,  as  well  as  the  Student  Publi- 
cations, all  of  which  are  now  or  have  at  some  time  or  other 
been  carried  on  with  well  defined  organizations,  may  also  be 
classed  under  this  heading.  Under  the  Spiritual  will  be 
found  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  and  the  Gospel  Teams; 
under  the  Physical  comes  foot  ball,  basket  ball,  base  ball, 
track  work  and  tennis.  The  Athletic  group  is  the  least  sus- 
ceptible of  treatment  in  a  sketch  of  this  kind  and  while  these 
sports  may  seem  to  be  interests  of  the  first  magnitude  while

the  student  is  in  college,  they  soon  after  graduation  become 
insignificant  in  character  as  compared  with  the  activities  of 
the  broader  fields,  where  the  development  of  the  mind,  the 
spirit,  and  the  sociabilities  are  involved.  While  each  of 
these  diversions  may  have  its  devotees  and  enthusiasts, 
we  cannot  take  the  space  at  this  time  to  give  an  exhaustive 
sketch  of  the  various  branches  of  College  Athletic  activities. 
The  Social  Group  is  composed  of  the  Greek  Letter  Frater- 
nities, of  which  there  are  now  seven  in  Iowa  Wesleyan,  three 
for  boys  and  four  for  girls. 

In  order  to  hold  this  writing  close  to  the  subject,  which  is 
very  necessary  owing  to  the  space  allotted  in  the  book  and 
as  there  are  so  many  side  lights,  and  illuminating  narratives 
which,  though  not  strictly  history,  would  be  highly  interest- 
ing to  all,  we  are  compelled  to  refrain  from  the  use  of  any  of 
these  and  to  treat  the  subject  by  topics,  according  to  the  fol- 
lowing outline.  We  believe  the  subject  matter  following  the 
outline  covers  the  ground  pretty  thoroughly,  except  for  the 
subject  of  Athletics,  further  discussion  of  which,  as  above 
stated,  will  not  be  attempted.

HAMLINE  LITERARY  SOCIETY 

Organized  1855. 

Motto:     "Lux  et  Veritas." 

During  the  years  immediately  preceding  the  Civil  War 
when  disorganization  seemed  the  order  of  the  day,  a  few 
young  men  of  sturdy  intellect  and  determination  purported  to 
turn  their  attention  to  organization  in  Iowa  Wesleyan  Uni- 
versity. 

Literary  Societies  were  unknown  in  colleges  or  universi- 
ties west  of  the  Mississippi,  but  Senator  James  Harlan,  then 
president  of  Wesleyan,  suggested  and  materially  aided  the 
boys  of  the  university  in  organizing  the  pioneer  literary  so- 
ciety of  Iowa  Wesleyan  and  also  of  Iowa,  the  following  stu- 
dents being  charter  members: 

Winfield  S.  Mayne,  '56.  A.  H.  Murphy, 

John  Ballard,  '57.  John  Haynes, 

E.  T.  Coiner,  '57.  James  Haynes. 

G.  W.  Byrkit,  '57.  A.  S.  Bailey. 

J.   W.   McDonald,   '58.  J.  B.  Wilson. 

G.  W  Gray,  '58.  Chas    A.  Whittaker, 

Mason  Bayles,  '59.  George  W.  Manly. 

George  B.  Corkhill,  '59.  John  Muldoon. 

Many  of  them  became  men  of  great  achievements.  The 
charter  was  granted  February  22,  1855  and  through  sixty-two 
years  of  stress  and  war,  and  peace  with  unlimited  prosperity 
to  our  nation,  Hamline  has  sent  forth  men  prepared  for  their 
places  in  the  world's  activities,  men  who  now  are  our  ideals 
in  our  present  forensic  activities. 

Today  Hamline  has  a  record,  the  like  of  which  few  literary 
societies  can  boast,  having  won  several  state  oratorical  con- 
tests and  furnished  many  of  Wesleyan's  successful  debaters. 

The  present  membership  is  made  up  of  some  thirty  young 
men  ranking  high  in  the  various  departments  of  the  college 
and  her  alumni  may  be  found  in  many  places  filling  positions 
of  influence  reflecting  credit  upon  themselves,  their  society 
and  their  Alma  Mater.

RUTHEAN    LITERARY   SOCIETY 

Organized   1856. 

Motto:     "Sic  Iter,  ad  astra." 

Every  new  movement  encounters  opposition  as  well  as 
favor,  and  many  arguments,  some  amusing,  some  futile  and 
others  difficult  to  overcome  are  presented  for  and  against  it, 
and  the  attempt  to  found  a  literary  society  for  girls  at  I.  W. 
C.  was  no  exception  to  the  general  rule,  for  as  yet  the  new 
and   modern  woman  had  not  appeared. 

The  mothers  had  primitive  ideas  of  what  girls  should 
learn  and  feared  that  a  literary  society  would  make  them 
masculine  in  their  actions,  so  Senator  Harlan  and  his  efficient 
helper,  Mrs.  Professor  Kelley,  Ph.  D.,  had  to  labor  earnestly 
with  the  mothers  to  secure  their  consent  to  such  an  innova- 
tion as  their  daughters  joining  a  literary  society.  In  1855 
the  first  girls'  society  was  organized  by  President  Harlan, 
and  Mrs.  Kelley,  bearing  the  name  "Cornelian",  their  badge 
being  a  Cornelian  ring,  one  of  which  each  member  possessed. 
They  were  organized  in  an  upper  room  of  the  old  Pioneer 
building. 

After  the  main  hall  was  erected  and  before  it  was  plaster- 
ed, they  occupied  the  southwest  room  on  the  second  floor. 
This  was  always  called  "Ruthean  Hall"  until  in  more  recent 
years,  when  they  have  occupied  "Hamline  Hall."  The  first 
constitution  was  written  by  President  Harlan. 

There  were  twenty-one  charter  members  as  follows: 


Lucy  Kilpatrick-Byrkit, 
Sarah  Kilpatrick-Woods 
Roxie  Strawn-Pugh,  '60. 
Tillie   \Vhite-Broadhead, 
Fontanella  Nervel-Swan. 
Emily  Porter-McClure. 
Mary  Young-Coiner. 
Allie  Young-Brown. 
Addie  Kauffman-Fov.i. 
Martha  Kaufman-Bronson 
Kate   Kaufman-Marquart.

'GO.        Mary  Payne-Hildreth. 

Jennie  Payne-Heckendorn. 
'63.         Carrie  White-Bingle. 

Mary  Kilpatrick-Templin. 

Laura  Berry-Winslow. 

Sarah  Whitlock. 

Edith    Candy. 

Martha  Linn-Knechen. 

Irene  Grantham-Ballard. 


76  IOWIA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

Of  these  ladies  the  following  still  are  living  to  recall  the 
olden  days  for  us:  Mesdames  Byrkit,  Woods,  Pugh,  Swan 
McClure,  Coiner,  Fowl,  Bronson,  Templin,  Knechen,  Ballard. 

The  young  society  did  not  sail  on  smooth  seas,  and  the 
dissension  became  so  great  that  in  the  first  year  some  severed 
their  relations  with  the  Cornelian;  calling  themselves 
"Calliopeans." 

In  the  following  year,  1856,  the  disbanded  Calliopeans 
were  reorganized  by  Fresident  Berry  and  the  two  organiza- 
tions were  merged  into  "The  Ruthonian"  afterwards  called 
the  "Ruthean,"  taking  the  original  constitution  of  the  Cor- 
nelian society. 

Their  programs  consisted  of  essays,  orations,  reviews  of 
books,  "Ruthean  Gleaner,"  the  newspaper,  and  debates,  their 
first  debate  being  on  the  subject  "Whether  women  should 
speak  in  public  or  not."  Mrs.  Nellie  Swan  on  the  affirmative 
and  Mrs.  Lucy  Byrkit  on  the  negative  side.  The  original 
manuscripts  are  in  the  hands  of  their  authors  and  might  be 
interesting  reading  to  the  girls  of  today. 

With  somewhat  varied  success  the  Ruthean  Society  has 
continued  its  way  until  now — having  since  1890  a  sister  soc- 
iety, Hypatia,  with  whom,  to  share  the  loyalty  and  affection 
of  the  girls. 

A  number  of  books  are  in  the  college  library  which  were 
given  by  the  society  and  bear  its  name. 

For  many  years,  every  three  months  open  sessions  were 
held,  and  in  commencement  week  the  graduates  from  the 
college  who  were  "Rutheans"  received  a  diploma  of  gradua- 
tion from  the  society  in  a  public  exhibition.  Here  we  learned 
something  of  "Roberts'  Parliamentary  Rules,"  to  think  and 
speak  qiuickly  on  different  subjects,  and  to  overcome  the 
timidity  which  Was  so  prevalent  in  early  years  among  the 
girl  students. 

The  present  enrollment  is  sixty  and  the  Ruthean  girls  of 
today  emulate  the  example  of  those  who  have  preceded  them, 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  77 

in  achieving  gTeat  and  noble  deeds  in  foreign  lands  as  well 
as  in  our  own  country,  and  aiding  in  the  mental  and  moral 
uplift  of  women.     "Thus  they  journey  to  the  Star." 

ATHENIAN    LITERARY   SOCIETY. 
Organized,    1874. 

The  life  and  history  of  Athenian  Literary  Society  was 
brief  and  can  best  be  narrated  in  an  excerpt  from  a  letter 
from  one  who  was  a  member  of  the  ill-starred  organization. 
Although  the  letter  was  not  written  for  publication,  it 
describes  with  accuracy  the  circumstances  surrounding  the 
organization  as  well  as  the  fate  of  this  society,  and  reads  as 
follows:  "I  will  tell  you  what  I  can  of  the  experiment  of 
having  a  literary  society  admitting  both  ladies  and  gentlemen 
in  our  beloved  Wesleyan: 

"About  the  first  of  the  year  1874,  the  Faculty  decided  that 
it  would  be  a  good  thing  for  the  world  and  other  colleges, 
as  well  as  our  own,  to  set  an  example  of  such  a  literary  soc- 
iety. They  (the  faculty)  selected  the  members  they  wished 
to  have  organize  it,  without  any  of  us  asking  to  be  admitted, 
at  least,  at  first.  There  were  six  of  us  Seniors — I  think 
Lizzie  Davidson  was  the  first  president.  Of  Juniors  I  can 
remember  two,  about  twenty  in  all.  A  few  from  each  class 
and  each  literary  society,  but  not  enough  from  any  to 
weaken  it. 

We  had  a  fine  earnest  high  grade  society,  the  experiment 
was  a  success — We  all  did  our  best  to  show  the  faculty  that 
they  had  not  misplaced  their  faith  in  us.  Such  was  our  be- 
lief at  the  time  and  mine  now  after  forty-three  years  have 
passed.  But  the  other  societies  were  so  angry  at  us  and  the 
faculty — that  it  was  considered  wise  to  drop  or  disband  It. 
And  through  no  fault  of  ours — at  the  end  of  the  term,  June, 
1874,  the  society  held  its  only  graduating  exercises.  In  the 
fall  nothing  was  done  to  reopen  it." 

The  "experiment"  evidently  left  a  lasting  impression  on 
some  of  its  members  and  even  today  they  think  of  its  close 
with  sadness. 


78  IOW!A  WESLEYAN   COLLEGE 

PHILOMATHEAN   LITERARY  SOCIETY 

Organized   1858. 

Official    emblem:     "A   Star." 

In  the  year  1853  the  Philomathean  Literary  society  was 
organized,  and  at  once  took  her  place  as  one  of  the  bright 
lights  of  Wesleyan.  In  1867  the  present  hall  was  secured 
and  furnished.  In  1868  Articles  of  Incorporation  were  taken 
out  under  the  laws  of  Iowa,  and  the  Charter  was  secured  on 
April  4th  of  that  year.  Several  revisions  have  taken  place  in 
the  constitution,  the  latest  being  in  1911. 

In  the  Spring  of  1907  Philomathean  temporarily  joined 
with  Hypatia,  for  carrying  on  programs  during  the  remain- 
der of  the  year.  The  result  was  a  series  of  most  interesting 
and  helpful  meetings.  Philo  has  done  her  part  in  sending 
out  well  prepared  Alumni  and  these  are  in  all  parts  of  the 
world,  holding  positions  of  trust  and  influence  and  doing  a 
noble  work  for  their  fellows  as  preachers,  teachers,  mission- 
aries, lawyers,  college  presidents  and  business  men. 

Philo  has  no  motto,  but  over  the  President's  chair  hangs 
"A  Star,"  the  official  emblem  of  the  society. 

"Hitch  your  wagon  to  a  Star"  was  the  advice  of  a  great 
man,  and  the  promotors  of  the  organization  said,  "Our  only 
wish  for  Philo  is  that  she  may  instill  into  the  hearts  of  young 
men  the  true  ideals  of  culture  and  character,  and  that  she 
may  ever  point  to  something  high,  to  a  'Star  of  Hope.'  " 

Twenty-one  young  men  at  present  follow  her  standard  and 
bear  her  ideals  in  their  lives. 

HYPATIA  LITERARY  SOCIETY. 
Organized    1890. 

Competition  is  the  life  of  any  organization,  and  this 
axiom  is  equally  true  whether  it  pertains  to  business  activ- 
ities, social  or  educational  institutions  or  College  Literary 
societies.     For  many  years  Ruthean  was  the  only  claimant  in 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  79 

the  field  of  literary  activities  among  the  girls  at  Iowa  Wes- 
leyan,  and  this  monopoly  upon  a  field  so  broad  was  not  con- 
ducive to  the  best  interest  of  the  society  nor  the  girls  who 
took  part  in  it. 

For  a  long  time  it  had  been  thought  that  a  sister  organi- 
zation, that  could  be  the  counterpart  of  Philo,  and  share  with 
it.  its  spacious  quarters,  would  be  beneficial. 

To  this  end  on  February  7th,  1890,  twenty-four  girls,  some 
of  them  former  members  of  "Ruthean  Literary  Society,"  or- 
ganized Hypatia,  to  be  a  sister  society  and  pursuing  similar 
aims. 

The  following  girls  were  the  charter  members: 

Lillian  Kendig-Rogers,  '90.  Elizabeth  McCreedy. 

Ida  Van  Hon,  '90.  Belle    Dinsmore. 

Elsie  Byrkit-Kirkendall.  '90.  Anna  Walbank-McGavic. 

Maggie  Campbell-Hughes,  '90.  Helen  Andrews-Guy. 

Lillian   Saunders.  Nortie  Rainey-Rosenberger. 

Lena  Bereman.  Julia  Grumbling-Gardner. 

Alice  Hughes-Payne.  Pauline  Weidensel. 

Fanette   O'Kell-Lines.  Lottie  Crane-Woolson. 

Edith  Corkhill.  Lillie  Carton. 

Minnie  Chamberlain.  Ina   Woodworth. 

The  new  society  met  with  some  opposition  at  first,  but 
steadily  pursued  its  way  and  soon  attained  a  high  standard  of 
excellence.  It  has  held  its  meetings  in  Philomathean  Hall 
and  has  had  frequent  joint  programs  with  that  literary  soc- 
iety. Fifty  enthusiastic  and  energetic  girls  are  at  present 
carrying  on  the  work  begun  and  are  developing  into  strong 
women  ready  to  do  their  part  in  the  upholding  of  Wesleyan 
ideals. 

GOETHE    LITERARY  SOCIETY. 
Organized    1884. 
Re-Organized,  1909. 
Motto:      "Praemia  post  proelia.'' 
Goethe  Literary  Society  was  organized  December  G,  1884, 
in  the  German  College,  with  sixteen  members.     For  a  num- 
ber of  years  it   flourished  and  did  good   work.     However,  it 


80  IOWA  WESLEYAN   COLLEGE 

had  as  competitors  Schiller  Society,  using  the  German  lan- 
guage, Cicero  and  Simpsonian  Societies,  using  the  English 
language,  so  that  there  was  great  rivalry.  The  latter  three 
disbanded  and  thus  in  1906,  Goethe  was  the  only  literary 
society  in  the  German  college. 

In  1888  the  Society  was  incorporated.  During  the  days  of 
the  removal  of  the  German  College  to  Missouri,  a  new  society 
was  organized,  which  was  in  a  sense  a  perpetuation  of  the 
older  organization,  as  thei  name,  constitution  and  purpose  of 
the  old  society  were  retained  as  also  its  equipment  and  the 
new  Goethe  looked  forward  to  a  bright  future. 

However,   for   reasons    considered   justifiable,    the    society 
soon  disbanded. 

HARLAN   LITERARY  SOCIETY 

Organized  1869. 

Motto:     "A   Posse  Ad   Esse." 

Harlan  Literary  Society  bears  the  name  of  one  of  Iowa's 
most  illustrious  sons,  Hon.  James  Harlan. 

The  society  has  stood  and  stands  today  for  all  that  will 
tend  to  the  uplift  of  its  members  and  the  upbuilding  of  Iowa 
Wesleyan  Academy. 

It  trains  the  students  and  gives  them  a  lasting  prepara- 
tion for  further  literary  and  oratorical  work. 

Its  present  enrollment  is  fifteen  young  men  who  are  car- 
rying forward/  the  ideals  of  the  founders  of  the  society. 

CLIONIAN    LITERARY  SOCIETY 

Organized  Oct.  23,  1907. 
Motto:     "Discimus   ut  Serviamus." 

Clionian  Literary  Society  was  organized  by  Prof.  G.  L. 
Minear,  in  Harlan  Hall. 

The  Constitution  was  drawn  up  and  signed  by  fifty  char- 
ter members. 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  81 

IfiBfl  Tlieo  Shaw  of  Kirkville.  Iowa,  had  the  honor  of  being 
the  first  president  of  the  new  society. 

Clionian  has  an  enrollment  of  forty-six  earnest,  enthusias- 
tic members  and  it  is  doing  the  same  good  work  for  the 
Academy  girls,  which  its  companion  society,  Harlan,  does  for 
the  boys. 

THE    FORENSIC    LEAGUE 

The  forensic  record  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  College  is  one  of 
which  every  alumnus  and  friend  of  the  school  can  be  justly 
proud.  In  the  contests  of  the  Iowa  Intercollegiate  Oratorical 
Association,  the  forensic  classic  of  the  state  Wesleyan  has  won 
six  firsts,  seven  seconds,  and  three  thirds,  a  record  exceed- 
ing that  of  any  other  college  in  the  state.  Under  the  old  reg- 
ulation when  orations  had  to  pass  a  test  in  thought  and  com- 
position Wesleyan  rarely  failed  to  qualify.  Under  the  new 
ruling  with  its  two  divisional  contests,  one  for  the  eastern 
and  one  for  the  western  part  of  the  state,  Iowa  Wesleyan  has 
gone  to  the  final  state  contest  every  time,  winning  three 
firsts,  one  second  and  one  fourth.  The  interest  shown  in 
Wesleyan's  oratorical  record  and  the  inspiration  it  gives  to 
each  member  of  the  student  body  argues  well  for  the  future. 
To  every  Freshman  comes  the  ambition  to  write  his  name 
along  side  of  Cavanee,  Mitchell  and  Krenmyre,  as  well  as 
Heller,  Newell  and  Havinghurst,  as  a  winner  of  a  state 
Contest.  In  this  respect  Iowa  Wesleyan  surpasses  most 
institutions  of  the  middle  West.  The  last  few  decades 
has  brought  about  indifference  on  the  part  of  the  student 
body  toward  the  art  of  public  speaking.  This  is  true  not  only 
of  our  large  universities,  where  athletics  and  social  life  dis- 
sipate the  student's  time  and  effort,  but  of  the  small  college 
as  well.  At  Wesleyan,  however,  the  light  of  forensic  enthusi- 
asm still  burns  brightly. 

In  debate  Wesleyan  has  maintained  the  high  record  set  by 
her  orators  in  the  state  contest.  A  triangular  debate  is  held 
annually.  In  these  forensic  encounters  W'esleyan  has  always 
broken  even  in  decisions  and  frequently  made  a  clean  sweep 
as  she  did  this  year  by  defeating  Penn  on  the  home  floor  by  a 


82  IOWA  WESLEYAN   COLLEGE 

unanimous  decision  and  Parsons'  College  by  a  vote  of  two  to 
one.  In  the  last  five  years  Wesleyan  has  taken  part  in  six- 
teen debates  ten  of  which  she  has  won.  The  inter-collegiate 
debates  have  in  the  past  been  the  training  school  for  our  ora- 
tors. In  the  running  fire  of  debate  each  one  of  the  college's 
representatives  has  disciplined  himself  so  that  when  put  to 
the  supreme  test  in  the  state  contest  he  has  made  a  good 
account  of  himself. 

Nor  is  interest  in  debate  shown  only  among  the  boys. 
From  time  to  time  the  coeds  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  have  matched 
themselves  with  the  women  from  other  colleges.  In  these 
contests,  too  Wesleyan  girls  have  always  acquitted  them- 
selves nobly,  and  have  attained  for  themselves  the  same 
enviable  record,  gained  and  defended  by  Wesleyan  boys. 

Those  who  love  Wesleyan  have  great  faith  in  her  fu- 
ture. This  faith  leads  them  to  look  forward  to  the  time 
when  Wesleyan  will  win  every  state  contest,  when  she  will 
have  an  endowed  chair  of  public  speaking  with  a  man  who 
will  devote  himself,  body,  mind  and  soul  to  the  noble  work 
of  developing  better  speakers,  that  they  may  repay  their 
communities  and  their  country  by  becoming  better  lawyers, 
better  preachers,  better  lecturers,  better  teachers,  better  men 
and  women  than  they  would  have  been  without  the  training 
in  the  art  of  public  speech.

HONORARY   FORENSIC   FRATERNITY. 
Pi  Kappa  Delta,  (National) 

Installed  January  23,  1913. 

No  movement  which  has  ever  been  inaugurated  as  a  Wes- 
leyan  tradition,  has  given  promise  of  more  far  reaching  and 
lasting  results  than  the  Pi  Kappa  Delta  Honorary  Fraternity. 

The  scheme  of  its  operation  and  plan  of  the  whole  organi- 
zation possesses  much  of  merit  and  its  helpfulness  is  the 
more  appreciated  with  the  better  understanding  of  its  work- 
ings. It  is  the  only  Fraternity  in  which  membership  is 
bestowed  unquestionably  according  to  merit,  for  only  those 
are  eligible  to  membership  who  have  represented  the  School 
upon  an  Intercollegiate  Debating  Team  or  as  the  winner  of  an 
Intercollegiate  Oratorical  Contest. 


84  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

Pi  Kappa  Delta  is  of  national  significance,  having  already 
twenty  chapters  well  distributed  throughout  the  United  States 
and  it  bids  fair  to  be  the  peer  of  any  organization,  founded 
along  similar  lines.  We  predict  for  it  a  growth  and  pros- 
perity which  will  soon  see  it  firmly  established  in  all  the 
colleges  and  universities  of  the  country. 

In  the  founding  of  this  fraternity,  as  in  the  founding  of 
many  other  noble  traditions,  Wesleyan  has  played  an  import- 
ant part.  J.  H.  Krenmyre,  '13,  then  a  student  in  Wesleyan, 
was  the  prime  mover  in  the  founding  of  the  original  chapter 
and  to  him  the  Fraternity  owes  many  of  its  admirable  fea- 
tures as  well  as  much  of  its  beautiful  ritualistic  service.  He 
is  now  a  Grand  Officer  of  the  Fraternity  and  is  doing  valuable 
work  for  its  advancement. 

The  degrees  of  the  Fraternity  are  progressive  and  so  ar- 
ranged as  to  stimulate  the  student  on  to  larger  efforts  and 
no  move  of  prejudice  or  fate  can  bar  his  recognition  once  he 
has  put  forth  the  endeavor  necessary  to  accomplish  the  ends 
required  for  such  recognition. 

The  degrees,  together  with  the  requirements  carried  with 
them  are  as  follows: 

1st  Membership  Degree — On  one  Intercollegiate  Debate. 

2nd  Degree  of  Efficiency — Winner  of  one  Intercollegiate 
Debate. 

3rd  Degree  of  Honor — Winner  of  two  out  of  three  Inter- 
collegiate Debates. 

4th  Degree  of  Distinction — Winner  of  three  out  of  four 
Intercollegiate  Debates  or  State  Oratorical  Contest. 

5th  Degree  of  Special  Distinction — Winner  of  four  Inter- 
collegiate debates  or  first  or  second  place  in  Interstate  Ora- 
torical Contest.

year  of  1907-OS.  known  at  that  Ume  as  "The  Scribblers."  It 
waa  the  intent  that  membership  be  based  on  proficiency  In 
literary  work.  Frequent  meeting!  were  held  during  this  year 
aa  well  as  the  year  following.  These  meeting  combined  the 
■octal  element  with  the  Literary.  Near  the  close  of  the  year 
190S-09  it  was  decided  to  convert  "The  Scribblers"  into  an 
Honorary  Fraternity,  based  on  scholarship.  The  constitu- 
tion of  "The  Scribblers,"  revised  by  a  faculty  committee,  was 
retained,  giving  the  faculty  exclusive  right  to  elect  members. 
It  also  provided  for  two  meetings  each  year,  one  during  the 
winter  for  a  literary  program,  and  one  in  the  spring  for  the 
initiation  of  new  members.  Later  this  arrangement  was 
changed  and  only  the  Spring  meeting  is  held,  at  which  time 
initiations  take  place,  and  officers  are  elected. 

During  the  ten  years  of  its  existence  it  has  successfully 
withstood  the  vicissitudes  of  fortune,  through  which  a  new 
organization  invariably  goes,  and  has  come  to  be  a  well 
grounded  Wesleyan  tradition  which  will  undoubtedly  be 
handed  down  through  future  ages. 

STUDENT    MUSICAL    ACTIVITIES 

The  Conservatory  of  Music  was  established  in  1877  by  A. 
Rommel,  and  ranks  as  the  pioneer  school  of  Music  in  the 
State  of  Iowa. 

To  relate  all  that  is  known  concerning  the  life  of  this 
truly  wonderful  man,  together  with  the  history  of  his  work 
and  his  influence  from  a  musical  standpoint  upon  the  student 
body,  townsfolk  and  the  people  of  Iowa,  would  require  a 
goodly  volume. 

It  will  fall  to  the  lot  of  no  person  to  perform  a  greater 
service  in  compiling  the  history  of  Wesleyan  and  one  which 
will  be  more  appreciated  as  years  go  by,  than  to  him  who 
shall  cause  to  be  put  into  permanent  form  a  complete  bi- 
ography of  Dr.  Rommel,  with  a  detailed  history  of  his  Con- 
servatory and  its  activities  in  Wesleyan.  We  hope  that 
some  one  will  undertake  this  important  task  within  the  next 


86  IOWA  WESLEYAN   COLLEGE 

few  years  and  thus  preserve  this  chapter  of  the  school's  his- 
tory while  the  necessary  information  is  yet  obtainable. 

For  the  present  we  must  content  ourselves  with  the  mere 
mentioning  of  some  of  the  more  important  activities  carried 
on  under  the  auspices  of  the  Conservatory.  The  Boys  and 
Girls  Glee  Clubs  are  perhaps  as  stable  as  any  organization 
pertaining  to  the  student  body.  Each  year  their  members  are 
carefully  selected  under  the  direction  of  the  Conservatory  of 
Music,  and  the  Clubs  are  trained  and  prepared  for  their  an- 
nual tours  of  Southeastern  Iowa,  which  always  includes  many 
of  the  best  towns  in  this  portion  of  the  State.  The  Club 
proper  usually  consists  of  sixteen  members,  and  in  addition  a 
reader,  a  director  and  an  accompanist.  The  quality  of  the 
programs  rendered  is  above  the  average  of  most  similar  or- 
ganizations and  the  personnel  of  the  clubs  are  of  such  high 
character  that  they  make  a  favorable  and  lasting  impression 
wherever  they  go.  Return  engagements  on  succeeding  years 
are,  indeed,  not  rare  occurrences. 

As  an  advertising  medium,  especially  in  the  campaign  for 
students  the  Glee  Clubs  are  the  very  best  which  the  school  af- 
fords and  upon  the  manner  in  which  the  individual  members 
of  these  organizations  acquit  themselves  during  their  travels 
about  the  conference  depends  very  largely  the  opinion  which 
the  communities  visited  have  of  the  school  and  its  work  and 
influence  over  the  young  lives  intrusted  to  its  care. 

Thus  the  Glee  Club  brings  the  work  of  the  school,  home  to 
the  various  charges  of  the  Conference  and  this  is  quite  im- 
portant, as  it  is  impossible  for  but  few  of  the  members  of 
these  charges  to  visit  the  College  in  its  home.  The  Boys 
Glee  Club  has  just  completed  its  Eighteenth  Annual  Tour, 
and  the  Girls  their  Eighth. 

At  various  times  during  the  history  of  Wesleyan,  Bands 
have  been  organized,  never,  however,  to  our  knowledge  under 
the  direct  supervision  of  the  Conservatory.  While  no  doubt 
there  have  been  many  bands  previous  to  this  one,  the  first 
concerning  which  we  have  any  definite  information  was  or- 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  87 

ganised  under  the  leadership  of  Lowell  J.  Anderson,  'OS  dur- 
LOOl  year  of  1906-07,  This  band  under  the  able  di- 
rection of  Mr.  Anderson,  became  a  well  trained  musical  or- 
gmnls&tlon,  and  was  continued  tor  a  few  years  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Lee  Baasenpflug,  and  later  T.  J.  Pettit,  when  for  lack 
Of  interest   and  material  it   was  discontinued. 

This   year  under  the   splendid   leadership     of  Mr.   Claude 

an.  the  band  has  again  been  re-organized  and  trained, 

BCellenl  concerts  having  been  given  during  the  year  in 

liege  Chapel,  as  well  as  a  series  of  successful  concerts 

down  town  in  the  Public  Square,  later  in  the  season. 

Of  orchestras  there  have  been  quite  a  few,  some  at  a  very 
early  period  of  the  school's  history.  These  have  rarely,  if 
ever,  been  under  the  direct  supervision  of  the  Conservatory, 
and  for  the  most  part  have  been  made;  up  of  and  carried  on 
among  the  members  of  literary  or  other  social  organizations. 
There  have  been  a  fewT,  however,  that  have  incorporated  the 
talent  of  the  entire  school  and  these  as  a  rule  were  organi- 
zations of  a  superior  order  producing  excellent  musical  re- 
sults. 

The  first  oratorio  performance  in  Iowa  was  given  in  Mount 
Pleasant  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Rommel.  Since,  the 
Conservatory  has  rendered  Haendel's  "Messiah,"  Men- 
delsshon's  "Elijah"  three  times,  Haendel's  "Judas  Massa- 
beus"  twice,  "Haendel's  "Sampson,"  Hayden's  "Creation", 
Mendelsshon's  "St.  Paul",  Gaul's  "Holy  City",  Bennett's 
"Women  of  Samaria."  Haendel's  "Saul",  besides  many  minor 
works.  These  recitals  given  by  college  students  assisted  by 
townspeople  have  always  been  of  a  very  high  order. 

A  May  Musical  Festival  of  four  days  was  given  in  1902  in 
commemoration  of  Dr.  Rommels  twenty-fifth  anniversary  in 
connection  with  the  Conservatory.  At  that  time  a  chorus  of 
sixty  voices  with  solo  singers  of  great  reputation,  rendered 
among  other  splendid  things,  "The  Quest"  by  Nevin,  and  the 
"Stabet  Mater"  by  Rossini. 

It  is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that  modern  living  conditions, 
seemingly  do  not  permit  of  the  continuance     of  this  line  of 


88  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

activity  for  in  these  days  when  society  is  apparently  over 
organized  with  clubs  of  all  sorts  and  for  every  purpose,  and 
when  automobiles  have  come  to  be  more  in  favor  than  pianos, 
there  seems  to  be  no  time  in  the  life  of  ordinary  individuals 
that  can  be  devoted  to  intensive  choral  work,  helpful  and  in- 
spiring as  it  may  be.  At  this  period  of  the  world's  history  it 
requires  more  effort  to  keep  an  ordinary  church  choir  organ- 
ized on  a  working  basis,  than  in  former  days  was  necessary  to 
direct  a  choral  organization  of  from  fifty  to  one  hundred 
voices.  May  the  sweep  of  time  hasten  the  return  of  the  good 
old  days. 

YOUNG   MEN'S  CHRISTIAN  ASSOCIATION 

In  the  fall  of  1880,  Dr.  W.  J.  Spaulding,  who  was  President 
of  the  University  at  that  time,  received  a  letter  from  Mr.  L.  D. 
Wishard,  then  Secretary  of  the  student  department  of  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  asking  him  to  see  that  a 
local  association  be  established  at  Wesleyan.  There  had 
been  no  organization  for  religious  work  among  students  up 
to  this  time,  and  no  student  devotional  meetings  were  held. 
Dr.  Spaulding  handed  the  letter  to  Rev.  A.  R.  Miller,  '82,  then 
a  student  and  suggested  that  a  meeting  for  those  who  might 
be  interested,  be  called  for  definite  organization. 

The  organization  was  purely  local  until  the  fall  of  1881, 
when  there  was  a  State  Convention  of  the  Young  Men's 
Christian  Association  held  in  Burlington,  which  was  attend- 
ed by  the  following  Iowa  Wesleyan  delegates:  J.  T.  Daven- 
port, A.  H.  Collins,  Jas.  M.  McDonald,  Alex  Telfer,  John  F. 
Gibson,  A.  R.  Miller,  Miss  M.  E.  Gardner,  Miss  Lois  Mc- 
Donald and  Miss  Emma  McDonald.  It  will  be  noticed  that 
the  Young  Men's  Association  admitted  ladies  to  membership 
at  that  time. 

There  arises  some  confusion  in  the  dates  for  the  min- 
utes of  the  Convention  have  the  following  reference:  "Iowa 
Wesleyan  University,  Mt.  Pleasant,  organized  last  spring, 
was  received  into  the  International  system.  They  have  so- 
cial meetings  every  Thursday  and  on  Sunday  have  devotional 
exercises."     Probably   the    Association   was    organized    by    a 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH  89 

state  representative   in   the   sprint;  of   18S1,  although    it   may 

been  begun  the  proceeding  autumn,    others  who  were 

influential  in  its  organisation  were  Miss  Ella  Martlett,  Miss 
Anna  Lawson.  Miss  Aimed*  Arrowsmith,  Julius  Smith,  W,  N. 
Potter.  \Y.  S.  Gardner,  and  C.  W,  Simmons. 

The  organization  founded  by  them  has  continued  without 
interruption  since  that  time.  Its  members  have  in  their  col- 
days  been  the  spiritual  life  of  the  school  and  have  al- 
ways been  active  in  Christian  work  after  leaving  the  Insti- 
tution, many  of  them  going  into  the  ministry  or  foreign  mis- 
sion work.  The  value  of  the  Association  to  the  student  can 
best  be  seen  in  the  effect  upon  the  lives  of  those  who  have 
come  in  contact  with  it. 

The  work  in  every  department  of  the  organization  is 
strong  and  shows  the  earnestness  of  those  engaged  in  it. 
There  is  always  a  large  enrollment  in  Bible  Study  and  Mis- 
sion Study,  and  the  Volunteer  Band  meets  weekly  to  discuss, 
the  work  in  foreign  fields.  Every  year  a  large  delegation  is 
sent  to  the  Lake  Geneva  Students'  Conference,  which  meets 
in  June.  The  Conference  draws  men  from  the  central  section 
of  the  United  States  and  part  of  Canada,  and  is  in  every 
respect  an  investment  worth  while. 

YOUNG   WOMEN'S   CHRISTIAN   ASSOCIATION 

The  Young  Woman's  Christian  Association,  though  a  com- 
paratively new  movement,  has  now  a  wonderful  influence  in 
the  uplift  of  womanhood,  the  world  over.  It  is  not  con- 
fined to  America  and  Europe,  but  reaches  through  its  secre- 
taries, girls  in  all  parts  of  the  world. 

The  college  branch  of  this  organization  has  associations 
in  the  greater  part  of  the  colleges  of  the  land.  The  Y.  W. 
C.  A.  stands  for  the  organized  Christian  activity  of  the  college 
girls,  and  unites  all  sects  in  the  bond  of  love  for  a,  common 
Savior.  In  non-sectarian  schools,  the  association  is  practi- 
cally the  only  Christian  influence,  while  in  Christian  schools, 
such  as  Wesleyan,  though  it  does  not  stand  alone,  yet  it 
serves  as  the  center  for  Christian  activities. 


90  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

What  might  be  called  the  machinery  of  the  Association 
is  well  regulated  and  adapted  to  the  needs  of  student  life. 
The  departments  of  work  are  conducted  by  committees, 
whose  chairmen  form  the  cabinet.  Almost  all  the  Association 
girls  are  members  of  these  committees  and  thus  receive  the 
strength  and  experience  to  be  gained  only  in  active  work. 
Yet  this  well  systematized  work  is  not  without  spiritual  life. 
Such  a  spirit  of  consecration  and  prayerfulness  pervades  it 
that  it  becomes  but  the  natural  expression  of  a  desire  to  help. 
The  influence  of  the  Association,  while  sometimes  silent,  is 
still  powerful  in  elevating  the  ideas  and  ideals  of  the  girls. 

The  local  Association  keeps  in  touch  with  the  broader 
work,  and  the  difficulties  of  a  changing  membership  is  over- 
come, by  the  semi-yearly  visits  of  our  State  Secretary,  and 
by  the  attendance  of  delegates  at  the  State  Convention  and 
the  Summer  Conferences. 

WESLEYAN    NEWS. 

Wesleyan  has  license  to  boast  of  her  college  paper,  for 
it  is  a  live,  interesting,  up-to-date  news  publication.  Wes- 
leyan students  have  long  since  discarded  the  time  honored, 
monthly  magazine  sort  of  a  paper  and  taken  on  the  form  of 
a  four  and  sometimes  six-page  newspaper. 

The  Wesleyan  News  is  published  weekly  by  a  student 
staff,  which  is  elected  by  and  from  the  active  members  of 
the  various  literary  societies  of  the  School.  From  among 
the  members  of  the  staff  it  is  the  custom  to  select  the  Editor 
and  Business  Manager  by  annual  election,  all  paid  subscrib- 
ers being  eligible  to  vote,  and  these  elections  aside  from  the 
Croaker  elections  of  the  Junior  Class,  are  decidedly  the  most 
spirited  participated  in  by  the  student  body.  The  Staff  has 
then  usually  been  organized  along  the  following  lines:  Edi- 
tor in  Chief,  Associate  Editor,  Business  Manager,  Assistant 
Business  Manager,  Local,  Literary,  Society,  Y.  M.  C.  A., 
Y.  W.  C.  A.,  Alumni  Editorships  and  Subscription  Agent. 

The  Editor  and  Business  Manager  of  the  News  for  thG 
past  ten  years,  have  been  as  follows:

JUNIOR  CROAKER. 

The  first  Junior  Croaker  was  published  by  the  Class  1906, 
and.  considering  the  early  date  of  its  publication,  together 
with  the  fact  that  they  had  no  anticedent  after  which  to  pat- 
tern their  book,  it  was  a  truly  remarkable  publication,  not, 
however  to  be  compared  with  the  more  elaborate  Croakers  of 
recent  years,  which  are  embellished  with  modern  illustrations 
and  upon  which  have  been  lavished  a  vast  amount  of  money 
as  compared  with  the  cost  of  this  simple  pioneer  edition. 

The  publication  of  a  second  Annual  was  not  undertaken 
until  three  years  later  wiien  the  Class  of  1909,  brought  forth, 
through  many  trials  and  tribulations  the  '09  Croaker.  In  ap- 
pearance this  book  was  scarcely  an  improvement  upon  the 
first,  while  it  contained  subject  matter  of  a  high  degree  of 
excellence.  Some  of  its  material  has  been  used  verbatim  in 
other  portions  of  this  sketch,  as  its  style  and  accuracy  could 
hardly  be  improved  upon,  and  to  their  authors  not  known 
to  us  at  this  time,  wre  are  truly  grateful. 

The  next  Croaker  published  two  years  later  by  *he  Class 
of  1911  as  well  as  those  since  published,  was  a  marked  im- 
provement over  the  preceeding  two,  and  from  that  time  until 
now  it  has  been  the  custom  to  publish  these  bcok^  bi-annually 
by  the  class  of  each  odd  year. 


92  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

As  history  gatherers  these  Croakers  are  splendid  medi- 
ums and  too  much  praise  cannot  be  given  the  class  and  staff 
that  publish  these  books,  for  to  these  faithful  ones,  the  college 
certainly  owes  a  debt  of  gratitude.  It  is  greatly  to  be  regret- 
ted that  every  class  is  not  a  Croaker  class  and  that  this  pub- 
lication is  not  made  annually  instead  of  bi-annually,  for  we 
must  all  very  greatly  rely  upon  these  intermediate  publica- 
tions to  keep  history  straight  until  it  can  be  put  into  more 
permanent  form  in  the  Alumni  Record  which  is  published 
every  ten  years.  We  are  indeed  sorry  that  we  cannot  publish 
the  names  of  the  entire  Staff  of  these  various  annuals,  but 
space  forbids  and  we  must  content  ourselves  with  publishing 
the  names  of  the  Editors  and  Business  Managers,  with  their 
Assistants,  whose  noble  efforts  and  tireless  energy  cannot 
be  given  too  much  commendation.

The  experience  to  be  gained  in  serving  in  the  capacity  of 
any  of  the  above  offices  is  among  the  most  valuable  of  any 
opportunity  for  training  that  comes  to  a  student  during  his 
college  life,  and  may  as  well  be  said  the  greatest  literary 
honors  to  be  bestowed,  within  the  power  of  the  student 
body.  The  training  which  it  gives  always  stands  the  recip- 
ient in  good  stead  later  in  life's  larger  work  and  many  have 
stepped  out  into  important  positions  as  editors  and  authors 
better  fitted  for  these  positions  by  reason  of  the  practical

P.   E.  O.  SISTERHOOD 
CHAPTER  ORIGINAL  A. 

Founded  in  1869. 
Emblem:     Five-point  Star. 
Colors:     Gold   and   White. 
Flower — Marguerite. 

The  early  history  of  the  P.  E.  O.  Sisterhood,  and  that  of 
Iowa  Wesleyan  college,  are  closely  associated.  P.  E.  O.  was 
founded,  on  January  21,  1869,  at  I.  W.  U.  with  seven  charter 
members:  Alice  Bird  Babb,  '69;  Mary  Ellen  Stafford,  '69; 
Alice  Coffin,  '69;  Ella  Stewart,  and  Frank  Roads  Elliott,  '69; 
Suella  Pearson  Penfield,  '71;  and  Hattie  Briggs  Bosquet,  '69. 
The  organization  was  so  well  planned,  both  in  purpose  and 
detail,  that  the  constitution,  rituals  and  ceremonies,  with 
slight  changes,  are  used  today. 


94  IOWA  WESLEYAN  COLLEGE 

The  purpose  and  desire  of  these  seven  women  was  to  pro- 
mote the  ideals  which  make  for  superior  womanhood  and  to 
bind  into  permanency  the  ties  of  college  friendship.  From  a 
small  beginning,  the  sisterhood  has  grown  into  a  membership 
of  twelve  thousand,  with  chapters  scattered  over  thirty  states. 
With  a  unison  of  purpose  beyond  self  interests,  alone,  an  edu- 
cational fund  has  been  established,  now  amounting  to  $60,- 
000.00,  which  is  available  for  use  by  worthy  and  ambitious 
girls,  in  securing  for  themselves  a  higher  education.  An 
example  of  similar  work  of  the  society  along  educational  lines, 
is  that  of  the  $2500.00  which  the  local  chapter  gathered  and 
contributed  to  the  college  half  million  endowment  fund,  dur- 
ing the  campaign  of  1916. 

The  rapid  growth  of  the  society  soon  made  it  feasible  to 
organize  a  separate  college  chapter,  first  known  as  "A-J"  and 
later  as  "S".  The  change  was  made  during  the  second  semes- 
ter of  the  year  1889,  and  continued  until  1901,  when  the  college 
chapter  was  withdrawn.  The  group  composing  chapter  "S" 
then  petitioned  the  Alpha  chapter  of  the  Greek  letter  society, 
Alpha  Xi  Delta,  which  had  been  organized  in  1893,  at  Lom- 
bard College,  Galesburg,  Illinois,  for  a  chapter  of  its 
society.  The  request  was  granted,  and  the  local  group  be- 
came the  Beta  chapter  of  a  society  which  was  soon  to  become 
national  in  its  organization  and  membership.

Fraternity  History  at  Iowa  Wesleyan  dates  back  to  1868, 
when  on  June  5th  of  that  year,  Alpha  Epsilon  Chapter  of  Beta 
Theta  Pi  was  installed  by  James  S.  Castle,  '70,  Knox  College. 

The  charter  members  were  Horace  A.  Kelley,  J.  A.  Schrie- 
ner,  Wm.  R.  Pearson,  Robt.  A.  Burton,  Dillon  H.  Payne, 
Chester  L.  Collins,  J.  C.  Mitchell  and  Albert  G.  Smith. 


HISTORICAL  BKBTCH  95 

Alpha   Bpsllon   was   the   oldest   chapter  of  the  fraternity 

with    ■    COntlllUOUfl    existence    west    Of    the    Mississippi    until 

HIS,  when  it  was  made  Inactive. 

It  has  nearly  throe  hundred  names  on  its  roster  and  these 
men  have  many  of  them  tilled  high  positions  in  all  walks  of 
life,  honoring  thus  not  only  themselves  and  their  fraternity, 
but  Iowa  Wesleyan  college,  as  welt

December  23,  1S68,  Iowa  Alpha  of  Pi  Beta  Phi  was  estab- 
lished in  Iowa  Wesleyan  as  Gamma  Chapter  of  I.  C.  Sorosis, 
by  Libby  Brooks  Gaddis,  of  Monmouth,  Illinois,  then  a  stu- 
lent  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  University.  Charter  members  were 
Libby  Brooks  (Gaddis),  Jessie  Donell  (Thomas),  Sarah  A. 
Taylor,  Prude  Kibben  (Murphy),  Lavinia  Spry  (Lisle),  Sadie 
Harrison  (Knight),  all  of  whom  are  living  excepting  Prude 
Kibben  (Murphy)  and  Lavinia  Spry  (Leslie.) 

At  the  convention  of  1886,  the  chapters  were  renamed  and 
Iowa  Gamma  became  Alpha,  and  at  the  convention  of  1888, 
it  was  voted  that  the  Greek  features  no  longer  be  sub  rosa. 
The  Greek  letters  Pi  Beta  Phi  took  the  place  or  exchanged 
places  with  the  Latin  letters,  I.  C,  on  the  pin. 

It  was  deemed  best  in  1885  to  again  require  that  members 
must  be  University  or  college  students  or  graduates,  in  order 
to  more  nearly  conform  to  Fraternity  Ethics — that  no  chapter 
3hould  exist  unless  situated  in  a  University  or  College.  Iowa 
Mpha  is  the  oldest  active  Chapter  with  a  membership  of  sev- 
snteen.  The  roll  shows  she  has  initiated  over  five  hundred 
members.     Of  this  number,  fifty-four  have  died.

Both  active  and  Alumnae  Pi  Beta  Phi  were  greatly  inter- 
ested in  the  recently  raised  endowment  fund  for  I.  W.  C.  The 
flattering  amount  of  some  $700.00  was  placed  to  Pi  Phi  credit. 
Considering  that  the  active  chapter  seldom  numbers  twenty, 
and  Alumnae  averages  around  thirty  members,  Pi  Phi,  as  the 
English  say,  "does  her  bit  ungrudgingly."

Iowa  Alpha  Chapter  of  Phi  Delta  Theta  was  installed  at 
Iowa  Wesleyan,  on  September  27,  1871,  the  charter  members 
being  as  follows:  F.  M.  Miller,  '71,  J.  T.  McFarland,  W.  M. 
McFarland,  '73,  John  Lauder,  Herman  S.  Lauder,  W.  H.  Hop-

Frank  Kauffman  and  C.  F.  Knowlton,  '73. 

Iowa  Alpha  is  the  oldest  Chapter  of  the  fraternity  west  of 
the  Mississippi  river,  and  numbers  among  its  two  hundred  and 
fifty  active  and  alumni  members  many  men  prominent  in  all 
fields  of  activity. 

The  Alumni  Chapter  of  Mt.  Pleasant  founded  May  30,  1905, 
has  been  very  active  in  its  efforts  to  build  up  the  college  and 
its  loyalty  greatly  aided  the  securing  of  the  handsome  en- 
dowment fund. 

DELTA   TAU    DELTA. 
1874. 

In  the*  year  1874,  a  chapter  of  Delta  Tau  Delta  fraternity 
was  installed  in  I.  W.  U.  and  continued  until  1880.  Although 
some  strong  men  were  among  its  members,  for  some  reason 
it  failed  tq  get  a  firm  hold,  and  after  struggling  for  a  time, 
the  chapter  was  abandoned,  and  several  of  its  members  were 
taken  into  the  other  two  fraternities,  Beta  Theta  Pi,  and  Phi 
Delta  Theta.

The  early  history  of  the  Beta  chapter  of  the  Alpha  Xi 
Delta  sorority  is  identical  with  that  of  the  P.  E.  O.  Sisterhood 
Pot  many  years  this  Sisterhood  maintained  a  College  Chap 
er  in  Iowa  Wesleyan  known  as  Chapter  S.  In  1901  for  rea 
sons  deemed  sufficient  the  Sisterhood  decided  to  withdraw 
Tom  the  field  of  College  activities  and  this  action  was  con 
jummated  during  the  second  semester  of  that  College  year. 

The  group  of  girls  composing  Chapter  S,  petitioned  the 
jreek  letter  sorority  Alpha  Xi  Delta  for  affiliation,  which  pe- 
ition  was  granted  and  the  installation  took  place  in  1902. 

Beta  Chapter  at  Iowa  Wesleyan  has  always  stood  for  high 
deals,  both  in  the  class  room  and  in  campus  activities.  Its 
nembers  have  been  leaders  in  intellectual  circles  and  in 
he  musical  world.  They  have  ever  stood  firm  in  living  up 
o  the  ideals  of  Truth,  Science  and  Liberty,  which  are  the 
vatch  words  of  our  Alma  Mater,  and  in  the  recent  campaign 
or  endowment  they  were  not  found  wanting.  The  Alphas 
lid  their  share,  both  in  giving  and  in  work  for  the  success  of 
he  campaign.

Harlan  Ray  Stone,  Clarence  Edwin  Hagie,  Samuel  Laird 
Hagie,  Columbus  Ferrel  Hayes,  Floyd  Oscar  Hagie  and  Hugh 
Stanley  Newell.  They  chose  as  faculty  member  Dr.  Reemt 
Eike  Luebbers.  From  the  first  the  organization  found  a 
hearty  welcome  and  as  a  consequence  thrived.  Under  the 
able  leadership  of  its  corps  of  officers,  who  during  the  first 
year  consisted  of  Roy  Lofquist,  president;  Enos  Lauter- 
bach,  vice  president;  William  Breitenstein,  secretary;  Albert 
Neutzman,  treasurer;  and  Clarendon  Havinghurst,  historian, 
the  oganization  laid  plans  to  petition  the  national  fraternity, 
Sigma  Phi  Epsilon. 

At  the  Grand  Conclave  of  Sigma  Phi  Epsilon  held  in  De- 
troit August  25,  1912  a  charter  was  granted  to  the  local  Sigma 
Kappa  Zeta  and  on  February  1,  1913  Iowa  Alpha  of  Sigma 
Phi  Epsilon  was  installed  at  Iowa  Wesleyan,  the  names  of 
the  charter  members  being  the  same  as  those  of  the  founders 
of  Sigma  Kappa  Zeta,  with  the  addition  of  Howe  Lee  Ernst, 
who  was  in  the  meantime  made  a  member. 

The  Fraternity  has  since  its  organization  maintained  a 
Chapter  House  on  North  Main  street,  and  the  type  of  boys 
which  they  have  chosen  to  become  members,  can  in  no  way 
be  better  illustrated  than  by  the  fact  that  three  times  during 
its  brief  existence,  one  of  their  number  has  won  the  State 
Oratorical  Contest,  thus  not  only  bringing  fame  to  Old  Wes- 
leyan but  honor  to  their  fraternity.

The  first  president  was  Miss  Ruth  Logan.  Phi  Mu  is  the 
youngest  of  the  Greek  Letter  fraternities  in  the  college,  but 
with  a  National  Charter  it  has  already  made  an  enviable  po- 
sition for  itself  and  at  present  has  twenty-six  active  members. 

It  is  proposed  to  organize  an  Alumnae  Association  during 
the  coming  summer.

Kappa  Delta  Psi  was  organized  April  24,  1917,  with  four-

Lawson,  '17;  Harold  D.  McCullough,  '17;  Lowell  D.  Thomp- 
son. 17;  Paul  D.  Sandmeyer,  '18;  Fred  E.  Hyzer,  '18;  Lee  A.

Nye.  '20;  Earnest  Patterson,  '20;  Paul  East,  '20;  Paul  S. 
Sterner,  '20. 

The  organization  of  this  new  addition  to  fraternity  cir- 
cles is  due  in  great  part  to  the  efforts  of  Lee  A.  Messenger, 
'19. 

The  President  is  Paul  Sandmeyer,  and  there  is  hopes  that 
this  youngest  of  the  circles  may  become  a  strong  force  in 
building  up  Wesleyan  ideals.

Apology 

Dear  Alumni:  — 

The  world  war  now  in  progress,  in  which  the  United  States 
has  been  involved,  is  responsible  for  the  changing  of  many 
plans  and  the  cause  of  many  well  conceived  arrangements 
being  broken  up.  This  is  particularly  true  of  the  plans  for  the 
publication  of  our  new  book,  for  no  sooner  had  the  first  few 
pages  of  this  edition  come  from  the  press,  than  our  worthy 
editor,  Mr.  Herbert  Jeffrey,  1913,  was  called  to  the  officers' 
training  camp  at  Fort  Snelling,  to  prepare  and  fit  himself  to 
become  an  officer  in  Uncle  Sam's  great  new  army. 

Inasmuch  as  the  contract  for  the  publication  of  the  Rec- 
ord had  already  been  entered  into,  and  the  materials  required 
for  the  same  purchased  by  the  publisher,  no  turning  back 
was  permissible  and  it  therefore  devolved  upon  me  as  Chair- 
man of  the  Committee  on  Publication  of  the  Record,  and 
being  most  familiar  with  the  plans  and  requirements  of  the 
proposed  volume,  to  assume  the  responsibility  of  Acting 
Editor.  This  I  did  upon  the  request  of  Dr.  Schell  and  Mr. 
Jeffrey,  and  I  therefore  take  this  opportunity  of  addressing 
an  open  letter  to  the  members  of  the  Association,  craving  your 


126  IOWA   WESLEYAN    COLLEGE 

indulgence  for  any  errors  or  omissions  which  may  have  crept 
into  the  book,  for  which  I  may  in  any  manner  he  responsible. 
This  duty  was  undertaken  by  me.  with  the  assurance  of 
the  co-operation  of  a  host  of  friends,  who  certainly  have  not 
failed  me  in  my  hour  of  need.  At  this  time  I  desire  to  thank 
personally  and  publicly  all  those  who  have  in  the  least  con- 
tributed towards  the  success  of  this  venture.  Particularly 
Mrs.  L.  G.  Murphy,  Mrs.  Laura  Gassner  Craver,  Dr.  E.  E. 
Lymer,  C.  S.  Rogers,  Reemt  E.  Luebbers,  Harry  E.  Jaques, 
George  E.  John,  W.  H.  Evans,  who  have  done  special  work, 
and  last  but  not  least  (if  I  may  mention  this  with  good  grace) 
my  good  wife  who  has  devoted  practically  her  entire  time  to 
the  direction  of  compiling  the  individual  records  of  the 
Alumni,  taking  charge  the  moment  the  book  was  started  and 
not  laying  the  work  aside  until  it  was  completed. 

Much  credit  is  also  due  those  earnest,  enthusiasts  who 
were  responsible  for  the  publication  of  the  first  Record,  for 
without  the  result  of  their  loyal  efforts,  this  edition  of  the 
Alumni  Record  would  have  been  physically  impossible.  All 
honor  to  Carl  Williams  and  Dr.  Hancher,  as  well  as  all  others 
who  helped  to  make  the  previous  record  a  reality.  No  one, 
perhaps  can  appreciate  the  enormity  of  their  task  so  much  as 
I,  having  myself  had  a  taste  of  what  they  must  have  gone 
through  with  in  preparing  the  original  manuscript. 

As  Mr.  Jeffrey  mentioned  in  his  Preface,  this  work  is  far 
from  complete  and  full  of  many  errors  and  grievous  discrep- 
ancies, yet  we  doubt  if  any  work  of  this  kind  could  be  pro- 
duced technically  correct  owing  to  the  very  nature  of  the 
subject  matter  to  be  treated.  Some  sketches  which  were 
incomplete  in  the  Old  Record,  we  have  happily  been  able  to 
supply,  others  have  been  as  elusive  as  Jason's  fabled  Golden 
Fleece,  having  utterly  baffled  all  of  our  endeavors  to  ascertain 
the  facts.  One  sketch  in  particular,  which  we  were  enabled 
to  complete,  gives  us  great  satisfaction.  All  that  was  pub- 
lished in  the  old  record  was  as  follows: 

"No.  41.     Edward  Hemenway,  A.  B., 

Born  Herkimer,  N.  Y.,  entered  from  Academy  1858.  M.  S. 
1865.  Served  through  Civil  War  as  Staff  Officer.  Died  April 
6,  1866.     Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa."

if  you  will  now  trouble  yonrsell  to  turn  to  New  Record  No. 

41,  you  will  get  a  glimpse  of  some  of  the  work  we  have  been  en* 
ableil  to  accomplish  with  the  assistance  of  our  friends.  Thi 
only  one  case  of  a  number  where  we  have  been  able  to  improve 
on  t'ne  old  Record,  hut  alas  there  are  still  too  many  whose 
history  we  have  been  unable  to  obtain.  We  shall  be  greatly 
Indebted  to  the  person  who  can  supply  for  us  any  information 
concerning  the  lives  of  the  three  Hooks,  Nos.  119,  120,  and  121, 
upon  whom  we  have  spent  more  effort  without  avail,  than 
any   others, 

In  bringing  the  History  of  Wesleyan  as  presented  in  this 
book,  down  to  date,  we  have  attempted  to  relate  everything  of 
importance  which  has  occurred  during  the  interim  between 
publications  of  the  Record.  We  have  also  added  many  new 
features  to  the  Historical  sketch,  as  well  as  a  few  to  the 
Record  proper.  The  write-up  of  the  Ladies'  Guild,  Organ 
Association,  Museum  and  Student  Activities  will  be  of  inter- 
est to  all,  particularly  those  who  have  not  been  in  the  b^bit 
of  subscribing  to  the  Croaker  Publications  of  the  Junior  Class. 
It  is  for  these  especially  that  we  have  devoted  so  much  space 
to  these  various  topics.  Two  new  departures  in  the  Record 
are  the  fixing  of  a  flag  preceding  the  names  of  all  those  who 
have  served  their  country  in  time  of  war.  We  are  indeed 
proud  to  honor  them  with  this  special  distinction;  also,  the 
reference  numbering  from  parent  to  child,  husband  to  wife, 
and  visa  versa.  In  this  connection  we  have  looked  in  vain  for 
an  instance  where  grandparent,  parent  and  child  have  all 
graduated  from  Wesleyan,  no  doubt,  this  circumstance  will 
occur  some  of  these  days  and  with  this  occurrence  a  new  epoch 
will  be  added  to  Wesleyan's  Tradition. 

Vet  with  all  of  this  added  material,  we  have  left  untouched 
many  rich  fields  for  historic  research  in  connection  with  Wes- 
leyan's past,  and  would  suggest  that  some  one  delve  into  the 
archives  of  Wesleyan  lore  and  prepare  for  us  such  information 
as  may  be  gathered  concerning  the  history  of  the  Class  Play. 
Founder's  Day,  Thanksgiving  Banquets,  Mantel  Orations  and 
the  ancient  and  honorable  custom  of  Junior  Orations  which 
were  the  bugbear  of  all  of  the  Juniors  up  to  the  class  of  1909. 
Also  a   compilation   of  data  concerning  Wesleyan  yells   and 


128  IOWA   WESLEYAN    COLLEGE 

Wesleyan  songs  will  be  needed  for  publication  in  the  next 
History. 

We  are  of  the  opinion  that  when  this  work  is  again  pub- 
lished, the  material  will  have  so  increased  as  to  make  it  nec- 
essary that  the  work  be  published  in  two  volumes;  Volume  I, 
containing  the  History  and  Volume  II,  the  Record.  It  is  also 
to  be  hoped  that  the  appreciation  of  the  Record  on  the  part 
of  the  Alumni,  will  be  so  great  as  to  warrant  the  Association's 
publishing  the  same  every  five  years,  and  the  History  and 
Record,  as  a  two  volume  every  ten  years,  and  perhaps  later 
the  publishing  of  both  at  five  year  intervals. 

We  have  great  plans  mapped  out  for  the  Association  to 
accomplish  in  the  future  which  we  hope  to  see  worked  out 
to  the  satisfaction  of  all  concerned  within  the  next  few  years. 

Now  that  the  campaign  for  Endowment  has  been  completed 
by  the  Trustees  and  friends  of  the  school,  the  officers  of  the 
Alumnal  Association  expect  to  launch  a  campaign  for  College 
Endearment,  which  we  count  as  important  as  College  Endow- 
ment, that  will  result  in  bringing  the  scattered  Alumni  into 
closer  touch  with  their  Alma  Mater  and  then  a  little  later, 
after  we  have  caught  out  breath,  the  erection  of  a  splendid 
Alumni  Hall  on  the  college  campus  which  will  in  a  measure 
show  the  appreciation  of  the  Alumni,  for  what  Old  Wesleyan 
has  done  for  them,  will  be  in  order.

Boyer,  (See  Xo.  S3)  of  Prescott,  Iowa  we  have  obtained  the 
following  information:  "John  W.  Boyer  was  last  heard  <  i 
by  his  family  in  1876.  He  was  thought  to  have  gone  to  Min- 
neapolis, Minn.  In  about  1882  some  of  the  flour  mills  were 
blown  up  by  an  explosion  of  mill  dust.  In  the  fire  which  en- 
sued many  of  the  employees  were  killed  or  injured.  In  the 
casualty  list  which  appeared  in  the  paper  the  day  following 
the  name  John  Boyer  appeared  among  the  dead  at  the  Wash- 
burn Mills.  A  letter  was  immediately  sent  to  the  Washburn 
Company  and  the  reply  came  back  that  this  John  Boyer 
had  been  claimed  by  a  relative  and  the  body  taken  to  Indiana 
lor  burial;  however,  as  the  years  passed  by  and  John  did  not 
return  the  suspicion  has  ever  been  increasing  with  his  family 
that  this  was  a  ruse  on  the  part  of  the  Washburn  people  cO 
avoid  litigation  for  damages,  or  that  there  might  have  been 
an  unintentional  error  on  their  part  and  that  the  body  was 
entirely  cremated  or  buried  among  the  unknown  dead."

Black  Hills  College 

(Historical  Sketch) 

Black  Hills  College  during  the  ten  years  of  its  history  of- 
fered strong  courses  in  its  college  of  Liberal  Arts  as  well  as 
in  Music.  It  was  located  at  Hot  Springs,  South  Dakota,  a 
beautiful  town  situated  among  the  Southern  foothills  of  the 
Black  Hills  Mountains.  A  handsome  building  was  erected 
and  had  all  gone  well,  it  would  no  doubt  have  proved  to  be  a 
power  for  good  throughout  the  entire  Black  Hills  Country. 
Both  Dr.  Hancher  and  Dr.  Lymer,  known  and  beloved  to  all  of 
us  were  officially  connected  with  the  Institution,  and  Prof. 
Eaton  of  the  Faculty  is  numbered  among  its  Alumni.  Though 
one  of  the  small  colleges,  it  had  at  one  time  an  attendance  of 
one  hundred  and  fifty  students.  Twenty-two  persons  receiv- 
ed Bachelors  Degrees  from  this  institution.  In  1905  by  action 
of  the  authorities  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  College,  the  Alumni  were 
adopted  as  Alumni  of  the  Iowa  Wesleyan  College.  These 
alumni  are  now  widely  scattered  and  not  all  of  their  addresses 
are  known.  Their  ability  has  been  recognized  everywhere 
they  have  been  and  they  have  proven  worthy  representatives 
of  the  institution  graduating  them  and  also  of  the  institution 
adopting  them.  Their  names  and  classes  with  residence  as 
far  as  known  appear  below: 

The  first  alumna  of  Black  Hills  College  was  Miss  Alma 
Lampert,  who  graduated  in  1891,  at  the  end  of  the  first  col- 
lege year.  Miss  Lampert  taught  a  number  of  years  at  Hot 
Springs,  South  Dakota  and  was  married  to  Mr.  George  Ben- 
nett of  Rapid  City,  where  she  now  resides.

Mt.  Pleasant  Female  Seminary 

(Historical  Sketch) 

Mount  Pleasant  Female  Seminary  was  established  by  the 
Rev.  Mr.  Bergen,  a  Presbyterian  clergyman,  in  1864.  It  was 
located  on  the  South  Side  of  East  Washington  street,  just  be- 
yond the  entrance  to  the  Grounds  of  the  State  Hospital.  In 
1866  Mr.  Bergen  sold  it  to  Mr.  Edward  L.  Belden,  pastor  of  the 
Presbyterian  church  of  Mt.  Pleasant.  Under  the  administra- 
tion of  this  able  man,  the  school  was  remarkably  successful. 
It  grew  from  year  to  year  and  very  soon  it  was  found  neces- 
sary to  enlarge  the  building.  In  1871  Mr.  Belden  died;  this 
was  a  terrible  blow  to  the  school  and  for  a  while  seemed  as 
though  it  would  bring  about  its  destruction.  However,  under 
the  splendid  leadership  of  his  widow,  Mrs.  Jane  W.  Belden, 
it  rallied  from  the  blow  and  became  more  successful  than  be- 
fore Mr.  Belden's  death. 

In  1874  Mrs.  Belden  followed  her  husband  to  the  great  be- 
yond and  this  disaster,  coming  so  soon  after  the  first  one, 
proved  more  than  the  school  could  withstand.  After  vain  and 
ineffectual  struggles  its  doors  were  closed  in  1879.  It  was  not 
an  endowed  institution. 

Both  the  instruction  and  work  done  by  the  students  of  the 
Seminary  were  of  a  very  high  order,  and  many  of  its  graduates 
are  today  social  and  intellectual  leaders  in  the  communities 
in  which  they  reside.  Culture  and  refinement  were  every- 
where in  evidence  and  to  quote  from  a  catalogue  of  the  insti- 
tution, issued  in  1877.  "A  thorough  practical  English  education, 
with  the  cultivation  of  a  high  and  refined  taste,  is  our  aim," 
well  illustrates  the  spirit  of  its  promotors.  Had  not  disaster 
overtaken  the  school,  it  would  no  doubt  today  rank  with  the 
most  noted  finishing  schools  of  the  Country. 

The  prescribed  course  compared  very  favorably  to  the  Lib- 
eral Arts  course  of  the  Colleges  of  its  time,  and  while  degrees 
were  not  given,  the  work  required  gave  its  graduates  the 
equivalent  of  a  College  Education. 

Mount  Pleasant  and  Wesleyan  owes  much  to  the  Seminary, 
for  one  thing,  if  for  no  other.     It  brought  Dr.  Rommel  into  our

midst  and  this  alone  should  make  tor  it  I  worthy  place  in  all 

our  memories. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Alumnal  Association  in  1913, 
the  jraduatee  of  the  Seminary,  ■  list  of  whom  is  below  ap-

print  their  names  with  pleasure  and  deeply  regret  that  space 
forbids  our  printing  a  detailed  history  of  each.  Not  a  few  of 
them  are  also  graduates  of  the  College  and  their  names  will

Explanation 


The  Alumni  of  Iowa  Wesleyan  College  are  made  up  of 
three  distinct  and  separate  classes.  First,  all  graduates  of 
the  College  who  have  pursued  the  regular  Collegiate  Course 
leading  to  a  Bachelor's  or  Master's  Degree,  (See  Alumnal  As- 
sociation Constitution,  Article  5,  Section  I,  Page  65)  who  upon 
graduation  automatically  become  members  of  the  Alumnal  As- 
sociation and  are  entitled  to  vote  at  its  meetings  upon  pay- 
ment of  the  Annual  Dues.  Second,  those  upon  whom  Honor- 
ary Degrees  are  conferred  at  the  Annual  Commencement, 
upon  recommendation  of  the  Faculty  and  election  by  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  who  thereby  become  Honorary  Alumni  of 
the  College,  but  do  not  become  members  of  the  Alumnal  As- 
sociation without  special  action  of  that  body.  Third,  those 
who  are  elected  to  Honorary  Membership  in  the  Alumnal  As- 
sociation by  a  two  thirds  vote  at  the  annual  business  meeting 
of  the  Association,  according  to  the  constitutional  prerogative 
of  that  body.  (See  Alumnal  Association  Constitution,  Article 
5,  Section  II,  Page  65)  These  members  are  entitled  to  all  the 
rights  and  privileges  of  regular  alumni,  excepting  the  right  to 
vote.  It  is  usually  the  intent  to  bestow  this  honor  upon  the 
graduates  of  extinct  institutions  as  in  the  case  of  the  Black 
Hills  College  and  the  Ladies  Seminary,  or  upon  those  who 
have  had  the  equivalent  of  a  college  education. 

The  Graduates  of  the  University,  listed  on  page  412  in- 
cluding the  College  of  Law,  Pharmacy  and  Oratory,  are  regu- 


ALUMNI  RECORD  425 

lar  graduates  of  the  College  and  therefore  members  of  the 
Alumnal  Association.  In  the  next  publication  of  the  Record 
their  names  will  be  distributed  with  their  several  classes  and 
if  possible  a  complete  sketch  of  each  will  be  obtained  and 
printed  with  those  of  their  classmates.  This  will  necessitate 
a  renumbering  and  reordering  of  both  the  Record  and  the 
Index  and  will  afford  us  opportunity  to  eliminate  a  number  of 
B's,  the  majority  of  whom  were  graduated  and  reinstated  with 
their  classes  subsequent  to  the  time  of  graduation  of  the  re- 
mainder of  their  class. 

The  total  number  of  Alumni  of  the  College  up  to  and  in- 
cluding graduates  of  the  June  1917  Commencement,  are  as 
follows:
